 Summary – The Summary page shows the current status of your
vehicle’s emissions, engine/transmission, supplemental restraint
(airbag) and anti-lock brake systems, and provides a summary of
the issues associated with your vehicle.
 Verified Fixes – The Verified Fixes page lists the most likely
repair(s) needed by your vehicle based on the DTCs retrieved. It
includes cost estimates for the repair(s) based on your geographic
location, provides access to detailed instructions for performing the
repair(s), and includes links to supplemental information (including
articles and videos) related to the affected component or system.
 Diagnostic Data – The Diagnostic Data page provides detailed
information related to the DTCs retrieved from your vehicle’s
computer. It includes descriptions of the retrieved DTCs including
the conditions under which each DTC was set, the probable causes
for the issue and recommendations for verifying the problem. You
can also view Freeze Frame data for the “priority” DTC (the DTC
that caused the MIL to illuminate) and current I/M Monitor status.
 TSBs / Recalls - Even with the exhaustive testing a vehicle
undergoes before being made available to the public, some issues are
discovered only under “real world” driving conditions. Depending on
the severity of the problem, the vehicle manufacturer may issue a
Technical Service Bulletin describing the problem, and providing the
procedures necessary to correct it. For safety related problems,
vehicle manufacturers are required to issue vehicle recalls to correct
the problem. The TSBs / Recalls page lists three main categories for
issues related to your vehicle: Factory Technical Service Bulletins
(TSBs), Factory Recalls, and Government-mandated NHTSA Safety
Recalls. This information can help you identify a problem before it
occurs, and ensure your vehicle meets Federal safety standards.
 Maintenance - The Maintenance page provides information to help
keep your vehicle in top running condition. The page uses your
vehicle’s year, make, model and current mileage to provide a list of
manufacturer-recommended periodic maintenance procedures that
should be performed during its next scheduled service. These
maintenance items are highly recommended and should be per-
formed to best protect against premature failure. The page also
includes additional recommended service procedures based on
analysis of component failures reported by the RepairSolutions®
network of technicians for vehicles of your make, model and mileage.
All procedures include estimates of cost and level of difficulty.
 Warranty – Warranties are the vehicle manufacturer's promise to
cover certain repair/replacement costs for a specific amount of time or
until the vehicle has been driven for a specific number of miles. The
Warranty page provides an estimation of the current state of your
vehicle’s warranties (whether they are active, expired, and/or
transferable). This information is intended for reference only. It is
based on manufacturer published data available at the time the data
was gathered and may not fully reflect your actual warranty coverage.
 Predicted Repairs – Solving a problem before it becomes a problem
can reduce out-of-pocket cost and minimize personal inconvenience.
Through detailed analysis of historical repair information supplied by
technician across the country, RepairSolutions® is able to provide highly
