1. A method for providing vehicle diagnostic data in a mark-up language format, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a vehicle service tool from a vehicle-under-service connected to the vehicle service tool, vehicle diagnostic data in a manufacturer-specified format originating at an electronic control unit of the vehicle-under-service;
converting, by the vehicle service tool, the vehicle diagnostic data in the manufacturer-specified format into vehicle diagnostic data in a closed format readable by an application on the vehicle service tool;
displaying, by the vehicle service tool using a user interface including a display, the vehicle diagnostic data in the closed format;
converting, by the vehicle service tool, the vehicle diagnostic data in the closed format into vehicle diagnostic data in a mark-up language format; and
transmitting, by the vehicle service tool using a network interface, the vehicle diagnostic data in the mark-up language format to a communication network for transmission to a remote device distinct from the vehicle service tool.

19. A vehicle service tool for providing vehicle diagnostic data in a mark-up language format, the vehicle service tool comprising:
-
a vehicle interface configured for connection of the vehicle service tool to a vehicle-under-service and for receiving vehicle diagnostic data in a manufacturer-specified format originating at an electronic control unit of the vehicle-under service; a processor that converts the vehicle diagnostic data in the manufacturer-specified format into vehicle diagnostic data in a closed format and that converts the vehicle diagnostic data in the closed format into vehicle diagnostic data in a mark-up language format; a user interface including a display for displaying the vehicle diagnostic data in the closed format by the vehicle service tool; and a network interface that transmits the vehicle diagnostic data in the mark-up language format to a communication network for transmission to a remote device distinct from the vehicle service tool. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 24, 26)
