Factory information sources

Factory manuals, wiring diagrams and bulletins stay with their publishers. KlutchID links to free sources such as Operation CHARM (1982–2013), LEMON and NHTSA, and to the manufacturers’ own sites. It never copies or rehosts them. In a case, cite the exact page you used, or add a document you have permission to use.

Planned

Public technician uploads open when technician accounts launch. They’ll include original procedures, confirmed case studies, scan-tool screenshots, waveforms, photos and documents you have the right to share. Each upload will keep its author’s credit and version history, and will be reviewed before it’s published.

  • Not published: copyrighted documents without distribution rights.
  • Not published: customer records or personal information.
  • Case studies are anonymized: VIN shortened, contact details, customer concern and photos removed.

Today, scan-tool screenshots, waveforms, photos, videos and documents can be attached to your own diagnostic cases on this device. Have an original procedure or a confirmed fix to share now? Export the anonymized case study from your case and send it to KlutchAZ for review.
