VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC AND PROGNOSTIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A diagnostic device comprising:
- a computer processor in communication with a wireless transceiver, the wireless transceiver capable of communication with a remote computer located remotely from the processor, the computer processor configured to;
select one or more variables from the remote computer in communication with a database;
generate a diagnostic instruction for a vehicle based on the one or more variables, the diagnostic instruction including a request for data from memory of one or more modules that is not available on a vehicle network;
transmit the diagnostic instruction to the vehicle in communication with the remote computer; and
receive from the vehicle at least a portion of the data in response to the diagnostic instruction.

Abstract
A diagnostic device having a computer processor in communication with a wireless transceiver, the wireless transceiver capable of communication with a remote computer located remotely from the processor. The computer processor may be configured to enable the diagnostic device to select one or more variables from a database in communication with the remote computer. The computer processor may generate a diagnostic instruction for a vehicle based on the one or more variables, the diagnostic instruction including data from memory of one or more modules that is not available on a vehicle network. The diagnostic device may transmit the custom diagnostic instruction to a vehicle in communication with the remote computer. The diagnostic device may receive at least a portion of the data in response to the diagnostic instruction from the vehicle.
