Hold the Light, a Diagnostic Buddy for Mechanics
A workshop diagnostic copilot that turns fault codes, symptoms, and vehicle details into a ranked next step without taking the technician out of the loop.
Field notes
The workflow accepts vehicle identifiers, OBD data, fault codes, symptoms, and ordinary descriptions in one search interface. Its stated ranking mechanism combines likelihood with time, effort, and diagnostic value, so a quick low-probability check can outrank a slower high-probability hypothesis. The page shows a VW Passat example in which checking boost pipes is recommended as an 88% likelihood, four-minute, low-effort step, and says investigations retain tests, results, and changed hypotheses in a timeline.
