Method and system for providing diagnostic filter lists

A server comprising:

• a network communication interface for communicating with a display device over a communication network;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to network communication interface and programmed to:
• receive repair order data, wherein the repair order data comprises data from one or more repair orders that indicate particular vehicle identifying information, at least one symptom identifier, and a particular vehicle component;
• determine symptom-to-reset-procedure mapping data based on the repair order data and component-to-reset-procedure mapping data, wherein the symptom-to-reset-procedure mapping data maps one or more reset procedures from a set of available reset procedures for a set of vehicles identifiable by the particular vehicle identifying information to the at least one symptom identifier;
• determine, based on the set of available reset procedures for the set of vehicles and the symptom-to-reset-procedure mapping data, a reset procedure filter list, wherein the reset procedure filter list is associated with the particular vehicle identifying information and the at least one symptom identifier, and wherein the reset procedure filter list indicates a symptom-based subset of reset procedures from the set of available reset procedures for the set of vehicles;
• receive a request sent over the communication network from the display device, wherein the request comprises the particular vehicle identifying information and the at least one symptom identifier;
• retrieve, based on the particular vehicle identifying information and the at least one symptom identifier received in the request, the reset procedure filter list;
• and
• transmit, by the server over the communication network to the display device, a response to the request, wherein the response to the request comprises the reset procedure filter list.

A non-transitory computer-readable memory having stored therein instructions executable by one or more processors to cause a server to perform functions comprising:

• receiving repair order data, wherein the repair order data comprises data from one or more repair orders that indicate particular vehicle identifying information, at least one symptom identifier, and a particular vehicle component;
• determining symptom-to-reset-procedure mapping data based on the repair order data and component-to-reset-procedure mapping data, wherein the symptom-to-reset-procedure mapping data maps one or more reset procedures from a set of available reset procedures for a set of vehicles identifiable by the particular vehicle identifying information to the at least one symptom identifier;
• determining, based on the set of available reset procedures for the set of vehicles and the symptom-to-reset-procedure mapping data, a reset procedure filter list, wherein the reset procedure filter list is associated with the particular vehicle identifying information and the at least one symptom identifier, and wherein the reset procedure filter list indicates a symptom-based subset of reset procedures from the set of available reset procedures for the set of vehicles;
• receiving a request sent over a communication network from a display device, wherein the request comprises the particular vehicle identifying information and the at least one symptom identifier;
• retrieving, based on the particular vehicle identifying information and the at least one symptom identifier received in the request, the reset procedure filter list;
• and
• transmitting, over the communication network to the display device, a response to the request, wherein the response to the request comprises the reset procedure filter list.
