Ask your AI.
Tina answers.
Add EngineIQ to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about a check engine light, a trouble code or a noise in plain English. Tina, EngineIQ's diagnostic AI, sends back ranked likely causes, whether it's safe to drive, what to check first and what the repair should cost.

Three tools
Diagnose a problem
Trouble codes and/or symptoms in; ranked likely causes, a safe-to-drive rating, what to check first, and DIY vs shop cost ranges out.
“My 2015 Honda Civic has P0420 and a rattle at idle. Is it safe to drive?”
Decode trouble codes
What a code means, which system it's in, how urgent it usually is and the most common causes.
“What does P0171 mean on a 2012 Toyota Camry?”
Find parts
Search links for a part that fits your vehicle, on eBay and Amazon.
“Find an upstream O2 sensor for a 2014 Honda Accord 2.4L.”
Every diagnosis ends with a link to a full report on engineiq360.com and to the EngineIQ app, where you can save the vehicle and ask Tina follow-up questions.

Good to know
Is it free?
Yes. The connector needs no account or API key. Heavy use is rate-limited per network so it stays fast for everyone. For saved vehicles, follow-up questions and guided tests, use the EngineIQ app.
What happens to what I type?
The vehicle, codes and symptoms you send are used to write the diagnosis, and each diagnosis is saved so its report link works. No account, name or contact details are collected. See the privacy policy for details.
Will it tell me if my car isn't safe to drive?
Yes. Brake, steering, airbag, fuel-leak, overheating, low-oil-pressure and flashing check-engine symptoms are flagged by fixed safety rules, not just by the AI, and are never rated safe to drive.
Does it replace a mechanic?
No. It's AI-generated diagnostic guidance. Confirm with a qualified technician before repairs, and stop driving if safety systems are affected.
