Abstract
A method for monitoring component usage during vehicle service activities has been developed. The method includes receiving with a diagnostic tool diagnostic data from a vehicle, receiving with the diagnostic tool a component identifier corresponding to a component in the vehicle that is replaced in a service procedure in response to the diagnostic data from the diagnostic tool, transmitting with the diagnostic tool the diagnostic data and the component identifier to a server, and transmitting with the server the component identifier to a listener computing device that is associated with a manufacturer of the component.
