1. A system comprising:
a display;
one or more processors;
and
non-transitory computer-readable data storage
comprising instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to:
transmit, via a first network, a message to a vehicle, wherein the first network is established between the system and the vehicle;
receive, at the system via the first network in response to the message, data indicative of a diagnostic trouble code corresponding to a failure condition of the vehicle;
transmit, via a second network different than the first network, a first request from the system to a server, wherein the first request includes the diagnostic trouble code and a vehicle identifier corresponding to the vehicle;
receive, at the system from the server via the second network, a response to the first request, wherein the response includes a first image and a second image, and wherein the first image includes a representation of a first circuit configured for carrying within the vehicle a first signal useable to diagnose the diagnostic trouble code, and the second image includes a representation of a second circuit configured for carrying within the vehicle a second signal useable to diagnose the diagnostic trouble code;
display, on the display without displaying the second image on the display, the first image and a selection graphic corresponding to the second circuit;
receive a first input corresponding to selection of the selection graphic corresponding to the second circuit;
in response to receiving the first input, display both the first image and the second image on the display simultaneously;
receive a second input corresponding to a selection of the first circuit or the second circuit;
transmit, via the first network in response to the second input, a second request for data representing at least one value of the first signal if the first circuit was selected or data representing at least one value of the second signal if the second circuit was selected;
receive, from the vehicle in response to the second request, the data representing at least one value of the first signal if the first circuit was selected or the data representing at least one value of the second signal if the second circuit was selected; and
display, on the display while the first image and the second image are displayed on the display, the data representing at least one value of the first signal if the first circuit was selected or the data representing at least one value of the second signal if the second circuit was selected.
