Vehicle diagnostic system and method
First Claim
1. A diagnostic vehicle device for diagnosing and repairing a vehicle, the device comprising:
- at least one electronic controller configured to execute algorithms that generate data related to the diagnostic operations of the vehicle;
an interface in communication with the at least one electronic controller of the diagnostic vehicle device;
wherein the interface is configured to selectively communicate with at least one electronic controller of the vehicle;
wherein the electronic controller of the diagnostic vehicle device is configured to provide access via an application programming interface to a user via the interface to data generated by the algorithms and restrict access to the algorithms that generate the data related to the diagnostic operations of the vehicle; and
