A vehicle diagnostic and prognostic system and method is disclosed. The preferred system operates from a centralized processor-based data network system and also includes a vehicle interface architecture subsystem, a vehicle configuration information subsystem, an applications engine, and a presentation subsystem. More specifically, the vehicle interface architecture subsystem is adapted for retrieving operational data and identification data from a vehicle and the vehicle configuration information subsystem is adapted for providing vehicle configuration data, vehicle variant data and/or driving style related data to the diagnostic and prognostic system. Both of these subsystems are also coupled to the applications engine that is adapted for analysing the various data, identifying trends and making an overall diagnosis or prognosis. The vehicle diagnostic and prognostic information presentation subsystem is also coupled to the applications engine and adapted for graphical presentation of information to the repair technician or other interested parties. |
