A service diagnostic trouble code sequencer and method is disclosed that includes receiving multiple diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), determining which DTCs to diagnose first, and recommending which DTC(s) to diagnose first. The sequencer can recommend a category of DTCs to diagnose first, where the category of DTCs includes one or more DTCs. The sequencer can prioritize the DTCs in the category of DTCs. The sequencer can separate the DTCs into multiple categories of DTCs, and prioritize the multiple categories of DTCs. The sequencer can prioritize the DTCs in an ordered category of the multiple categories of DTCs. The sequencer can receive the plurality of DTCs locally or remotely over a network. The sequencer can output the one or more DTCs to diagnose first locally or remotely over a network. The sequencer can be resident on the machine generating the DTCs. 本发明公开了维修诊断故障码定序器和定序方法，包括：接收多个诊断故障码(DTC)；确定首先诊断哪些DTC；以及建议首先诊断哪个(或哪些)DTC。该定序器可以推荐将首先诊断的种类型的DTC，其中该类型的DTC包括至少个DTC。该定序器可以指定该类型的DTC中的各个DTC的优先次序。该定序器可以将DTC划分
