A system for providing automated fix detection for a vehicle the system comprising: an input configured to receive data associated with said vehicle; and one or more microprocessors configured to execute: an automatic identification process that reads a vehicle identification number from said vehicle using OBDII mode 9 and if an incorrect controller is installed on said vehicle, the automatic identification process will notify a user of an improper identification and allows the user to override the automatic identification process and manually enter vehicle identification information; an auto-fix trigger module that processes said data received from the input and instructs a search of repair assets; an auto-fix asset module that searches an on-tool database, and if a tool is connected to a network, also on an off-tool database, to retrieve repair assets corresponding to said data associated with said vehicle, said repair assets comprising at least one repair action; an auto-fix observer module that notifies the user of the retrieved repair assets via a blinking light when the user is absent from the tool, the absence of the user determined by an absence of input to the tool, wherein the auto-fix observer module is further adapted to display an icon on a display screen wherein the icon is dynamically updated with the current repair assets available via a superscript count of the assets; and an auto-fix detector module that displays a user interface including selectable repair assets that are provided to the user, wherein the auto-fix asset module conducts a further search on the on-tool database, and if the tool is connected to the network, also on the off-tool database, automatically and without human interaction, to retrieve other repair assets in response to additional data received from the input following performance of the at least one repair action on the vehicle. an input configured to receive data associated with said vehicle; and one or more microprocessors configured to execute: an automatic identification process that reads a vehicle identification number from said vehicle using OBDII mode 9 and if an incorrect controller is installed on said vehicle, the automatic identification process will notify a user of an improper identification and allows the user to override the automatic identification process and manually enter vehicle identification information; an auto-fix trigger module that processes said data received from the input and instructs a search of repair assets; an auto-fix asset module that searches an on-tool database, and if a tool is connected to a network, also on an off-tool database, to retrieve repair assets corresponding to said data associated with said vehicle, said repair assets comprising at least one repair action; an auto-fix observer module that notifies the user of the retrieved repair assets via a blinking light when the user is absent from the tool, the absence of the user determined by an absence of input to the tool, wherein the auto-fix observer module is further adapted to display an icon on a display screen wherein the icon is dynamically updated with the current repair assets available via a superscript count of the assets; and an auto-fix detector module that displays a user interface including selectable repair assets that are provided to the user, wherein the auto-fix asset module conducts a further search on the on-tool database, and if the tool is connected to the network, also on the off-tool database, automatically and without human interaction, to retrieve other repair assets in response to additional data received from the input following performance of the at least one repair action on the vehicle.
