What you get

Production-ready diagnostic output, vehicle-specific.

01 · Vehicle-aware

Year/make/model context

Causes ranked specifically for the vehicle and mileage. References real TSBs and engine-specific failure patterns.

02 · Probability-ranked

3 causes summing to 100%

Top cause is usually right but you also get plausible alternatives with their probability. Useful for "don't replace until you verify" workflows.

03 · Verification built in

"Confirm:" callout per cause

Every cause description ends with a specific verification test and target value (volts, ohms, PSI, ratios). Mechanics get a structured next step.

04 · Cost-range honest

Part + labor estimates

Part cost range, labor cost range, and DIY difficulty per cause. Backed by Mitchell flat-rate data and real shop reports.

05 · Customer-ready

Copy-paste mechanic summary

Every response includes a customer_message field, a 3-4 sentence text the end user can text or email their mechanic.

06 · Multi-code aware

Root-cause relationships

Send multiple related codes, the engine diagnoses the most likely root cause rather than treating each code independently.
