Available Data Areas

Data Services Background

AREA Example Applications Data
Diagnostic Failure
  • OEs or OEMs or Automotive OEs use it to see how their vehicles stack up against similar makes and models in terms of in-use failures and costs to determine area of strength and areas to improve reliability.
  • Parts companies want to track failure trends on parts.
 Year(s), Engine(s), Part(s), Make(s), DTC(s), Labor Time, Model(s), Fix, Tech Comments
Fix
  • Techs use it to quickly determine what to fix and reduce diagnostic time.
  • DIYers use it to determine what to fix / limit the cost of diagnostic or repair time.
  • Consumers use it to empower themselves with information for efficient and fairly priced repairs, and to reduce cost of ownership.
  • Retailers use it to accurately match parts for the repair, reduce returns.
 Year(s), Engine(s), Part(s), Make(s), DTC(s), Labor Time, Model(s), Fix, Tech Comments
Predictive Failure & Cost
  • Techs use it to drive extra revenue by upselling customers on replacing items now before they fail during vehicle use and the customer is stranded.
  • DIYers use it to determine if a vehicle should be kept and if so, how much they will need to save to plan for these predicted failures.
  • Fleet owners use it to determine if a vehicle should be kept and if so, how much they will need to save to plan for these predicted failures, or to preemptively replace the items to prevent unplanned down time.
 Year(s), Engine(s), Part(s), Make(s), DTC(s), Labor Time, Model(s), Fix, Tech Comments
Vehicle Health Index
  • National and regional check engine light trend data, Industry make and model lists highlighting vehicles with fewest check engine light costs and lowest average repair costs by YMM, state, region and date range.
 Maintenance, Predictive Failures, Warranty Coverage, TSBs, recalls by YMM or VIN + mileage
Vehicle Health Reports
  • Industry make and model diagnostic and service maintenance reports.
  • Consumers use it to make used car buying and selling decisions, budget for upcoming maintenance and likely repairs.
 Maintenance, Predictive Failures, Warranty Coverage, TSBs, recalls by YMM or VIN + mileage
Scheduled Maintenance
  • Techs use it to determine what services are needed on a car and when. They can use this information to drive revenue for parts and labor even when the vehicle does not have a problem.
  • DIYers use it determine what services are needed on their car and when so they can keep their operating at peak efficiency.
  • Fleet owners use it to keep their vehicles running efficiently to avoid downtime as well as optimize fuel efficiency.
 Mileage interval for each service. Part, part description and part price. Labor time for each service. Difficulty rating for each service.
Vehicle Statistics
  • Insights about actual in-use vehicle population by geography (mileage, trouble codes, models, emissions test failure rate, etc.)
 Vehicles with fewest check engine light issues, lowest average repair costs.

CarScan JSON API

CarScan’s RESTful APIs provide access to vehicle telematic data such as

OBD2 plug-in locations for vehicles sold after 1996
  • CarScan provides access to a vast library of pictures and diagrams where users can find their OBD2 plug (DLC or Data Link Connector) for their vehicle’s make and model. Make on-boarding customers easy and reduce the cost of customer support.
Vehicle DTC solutions and laymen definitions
  • Unique to the CarScan platform is our easy-to-understand interpretation of both common and OEM propriety DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes). CarScan also provides the repair needed to fix the original issue causing those DTCs, as well as approximate cost and duration of the repair.
Vehicle maintenance services
  • CarScan comes with a fully loaded maintenance solution with items requiring replacement but unnoted in the factory service manual. Our service allows you to focus on your own specialties and does not require you to become a domain expert to manage your end user’s maintenance schedules. CarScan is available as both a data stream for custom-built solutions and a full turnkey service.
Warranties, Safety Recalls and TSBs
  • Lastly, CarScan has integrated repair information with warranty, TSB (technical service bulletins) and safety recall information, alerting users to a possible no-cost repair and safety recalls that may require attention.
