AI Automotive Diagnostics
MechanIQ is not a code reader. It runs an evidence-based differential diagnosis and recommends the next best test — updating as evidence is added.
The diagnostic engine reasons through every stage
Fault-code interpretation
DTCs are normalised across manufacturer and aftermarket tools, with status, freeze-frame and before/after tracking.
Freeze-frame analysis
MechanIQ examines the exact operating conditions captured when a fault set, weighting them as evidence.
Live-data analysis
Requested vs actual comparisons and a parameter rule engine flag drift and out-of-range values before a code is set.
Evidence-based differential diagnosis
Hypotheses are ranked and eliminated against the evidence. Similar verified cases influence the differential.
Next Best Action
MechanIQ recommends the test with the highest information gain, balancing cost, time and decisiveness.
Repair readiness
A repair-readiness gate prevents premature action until evidence is sufficient and causal.
Verification
A verification step confirms codes cleared and live data returned to spec before the case closes.
MechanIQ works with VCDS, ISTA and other scan tools. See how the full workflow connects complaint to verified repair.
