Diagnostic codes from a vehicle or other system in transit are transmitted to an opportunity server, which forwards the codes to a supplemental diagnostic service provider. The diagnostic service provider determines if supplemental diagnostics software functions are available, and if so, downloads them to the vehicle. After executing the supplemental diagnostics, the vehicle reports updated codes to the opportunity server. Multiple cycles of selection, downloading and execution of supplemental diagnostics may be performed until fault isolation is achieved, following which the opportunity server issues requests for bids to potential repair service provides. Responding offers are received, coalesced and presented to the operator. The operator of the vehicle is presented with one or more coalesced offers, upon selection of which, a service is scheduled.

A method of providing diagnostic service for a data processing system includes retrieving product data identifying a data processing element in response to an alert generated by the element. The retrieved product data is forwarded to a networked diagnostic site. A diagnostic package is retrieved, the diagnostic package including diagnostic code appropriate for the alerting element. The diagnostic package is forwarded to the data processing system. The diagnostic code is then installed and executed to perform diagnostic testing of the element. Results generated during execution of the diagnostic code may then be used to take machine initiated corrective action. After the results have been generated, the diagnostic software is uninstalled from the data processing system.

A system and method of determining and displaying a failure in an electronic appliance control system employs diagnostic codes which indicate both a primary system where a fault occurs and a subsystem in fault. The diagnostic codes are displayed so that repair personnel may be able to more accurately replace only the faulty part, as opposed to replacing an entire appliance control system. The diagnostic codes are established to include a plurality of digits represented by a combination of letters and numbers. The electronic appliance control also preferably records a specific series of diagnostic steps taken to verify replacement of only an actual faulty component.

A system and method provides remote diagnostics testing of a data processing system. Diagnostics testing code is stored in a non-volatile memory in the system. A diagnostic test indicator (e.g., in the form of flag in a CMOS RAM) is settable by a signal from a controlling computer system remote from the data processing system. The signal requests that diagnostics testing is to be performed on the data processing system. When the data processing system is rebooted, the CMOS flag is checked and if found to be set, the diagnostics code is invoked and diagnostic testing is performed. When the diagnostics testing is complete and results have been logged in the non-volatile storage, the code causes the flag to be reset and the data processing system to be rebooted. The results are transferred, on request, to the remote controlling computer system for analysis.
