A diagnostic tool includes a processor, display, and memory storing instructions to perform scan tool functions (STF) including transmitting a message to a vehicle. The STF include first STF for a first system of the vehicle. Additional stored instructions are executable to display a first user-interface screen (UIS) including a first user-selectable control (USC) including an indicator of a first scanner job performable on the vehicle, and to display a second UIS instead of the first UIS in response to a selection of the first USC. The second UIS incudes: a second USC including an indicator of the first STF for the first system of the vehicle, and guidance for performing a procedure of the first scanner job. The stored instructions are executable to transmit a first vehicle data message to a component of the first system in response to a selection of the second USC.

A system for brake inspection of vehicle for checking a brake performance of the vehicle in which brake fluid is injected in a vehicle factory includes a communication unit connecting the vehicle entered through the conveyor and the diagnostic communication, a specification determination unit that collects specification information of the vehicle and determines whether to apply an electronic stability control (ESC) device, a specification determination unit that collects specification information of the vehicle and determines whether to apply an electronic stability control (ESC) device, and an inspector consisting of a control unit that determines that the ESC pressure value measured by the forced driving of the ESC exceeds the set reference value, and determines that the brake pressure is normal (OK), and determines that the ESC pressure is abnormal (NG).

An electronic device receives operational data indicative of an operational characteristic of a vehicle from a sensor of the electronic device, a sensor of the vehicle, and/or images/videos captured by a camera. The electronic device determines that the vehicle has had a potential incident and a likelihood that the potential incident has actually occurred based on analysis of the operational data. The electronic device also receives risk management data associated with the vehicle from a database, and determines a severity level for the potential incident based on the operational data and the risk management data. The electronic device then sends a notification indicative of the potential incident based on the likelihood that the potential incident has actually occurred and the severity level for the potential incident to a third-party remote system (e.g., of a towing service, an emergency service, or both) to request assistance.

A process, system and device for monitoring a ground engaging tool secured to earth working equipment that includes capturing an image of the ground engaging tool secured to the earth working equipment and subjected to wearing with a mobile device, determining a dimension of the ground engaging tool subject to wear, operating at least one processor and memory storing computer-executable instructions to calculate at least one result including the extent of wear experienced by the ground engaging tool and/or an estimate of when the ground engaging tool will reach a fully worn condition, and/or schedule when to replace the ground engaging tool.

In one aspect, a system for receiving communications while a user operates a motor vehicle is provided. The system may include (1) a BLUETOOTH interface configured to establish a connection to a BLUETOOTH device associated with the motor vehicle, (2) a wireless communication interface configured to receive a wireless communication from a remote device, and (3) a processor coupled to the wireless communication interface and the BLUETOOTH interface, and configured to: (a) determine the user is operating the motor vehicle based upon the connection to the BLUETOOTH device, and (b) suppress a notification of the user of receipt of the wireless communication while the user is operating the motor vehicle.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus that includes a personnel location device that is configured to determine a proximity of personnel to a structure. The apparatus also includes a data filter that is configured to filter maintenance-procedure data from an electronic maintenance technical publication responsive to, at least in part, the proximity of personnel to the structure determined by the personnel location device. Additionally, the data filter is configured to create a first filtered electronic maintenance technical publication that includes the maintenance-procedure data filtered from the electronic maintenance technical publication.

A client computing system (CCS) receives a download including (i) an image representative of a vehicle component, (ii) symbol data associated with a first symbol, (iii) a set of one or more selectable identifiers, and (iv) supplemental information associated with the vehicle component. Each selectable identifier can indicate a respective portion of the supplemental information. After receiving the download, the CCS displays the image and the first symbol without displaying the set and the supplemental information. While the image and the first symbol are displayed without the set, the CCS receives a first input corresponding to selection of the first symbol. The CCS then responsively displays the set. While the set is displayed, the CCS receives a second input corresponding to selection of a first selectable identifier from the set. The CCS then responsively displays the respective portion of the supplemental information indicated by the first selectable identifier.

Disclosed are methods, systems, and apparatus for remote reprogramming of an automotive controller and determining and reporting vehicle carbon emissions using a local device, a client device, a technician device and a system server. The local device is connected to the automotive controller and is wirelessly connected to the client device. The client device is connected to the technician device through a system server. Programming configurations, including firmware, settings, and parameter updates, are selected from a technician device, sent to the system server, and uploaded to local device using J2534 communication protocol. The client device receives the fuel consumption data from the local device and sends the data to the system server. The system server determines the carbon emissions based on the fuel consumption and reports the emissions to a third-party to certify carbon offset.

A method performed by a first computing system includes receiving, from a second computing system, a message identifying a symptom of a first vehicle; and sending a repair tip to the second computing system. The repair tip includes a first phrase describing a first procedure performed on a second vehicle that exhibited the symptom, wherein the first procedure performed on the second vehicle yielded a result insufficient to determine that a component of the second vehicle associated with the symptom is defective. The repair tip also includes a second phrase describing a second procedure performed on a given vehicle, wherein the given vehicle is either (i) the second vehicle or (ii) a third vehicle that also exhibited the symptom, wherein the second procedure performed on the given vehicle yielded a result sufficient to determine that a component of the given vehicle associated with the symptom is defective.

A vehicle key programming system and method for chip reading and writing, key and remote programming and remote frequency testing. The system tracks programming usage when not connected to system servers and reports such usage upon connection. Immobilizer algorithms are chosen to program and such algorithms are optimized with each attempted use.
