Abstract

A method for performing test set. After determining the test set and a vehicle identifier, a processor of a computing system determines: (1) a component test (CT) and a functional test command (FTC), (2) the CT and a first set of parameter identifiers (PIDs), or (3) the FTC and a second set of PIDs. The CT corresponds to a particular vehicle component. The FTC is for requesting control of a controllable vehicle component. If the CT is determined, a test device is configured to be in a mode to perform the CT. If the FTC is determined, a GUI including a user-selectable control corresponding to the FTC is displayed. If the first or second set of PIDs is determined, a set of parameter values corresponding to the determined set of PIDs is received and displayed in response to vehicle data messages transmitted by the computing system.
