1. An apparatus to determine diagnostic information for a system, the apparatus comprising:
vehicle interface circuitry to obtain information corresponding to a detected problem of a vehicle;
cloud interface circuitry to obtain, via a network communication, an output of a machine learning model executed based on the information, the output to indicate (a) a component associated with the detected problem, and (b) a probability associated with the component;
instruction generation circuitry to generate instructions for a user to perform a test on the component;
user interface control circuitry to cause the instructions to be displayed on a mobile device, the instructions to (a) instruct the user to perform the test by performing manual inspection of the component and (b) indicate an expected response of the component to the test; and
response detection circuitry to:
determine, after performance of the test and based on user input to the mobile device, whether the component satisfies the expected response as a result of the test; and
identify a source of the detected problem based on whether the component satisfies the expected response.
