Automotive RepairDiagnostics & Troubleshooting3MediumOwner$ implied
Recurring engine light on TVS Ronin with no DTC found, service centers can't diagnose and just clear the error without fixing the root cause.
Current diagnostic tools do not detect intermittent faults or software glitches that trigger warning lights without storing codes, leaving service centers unable to diagnose without expensive exploratory labor.

Workarounds Described
- Takes bike to service center to clear the light each week
- Service center opens wiring and inspects without clear goal
- User suspects but cannot verify ECU update need
Implied Software Gaps
- Intermittent fault diagnostic tool that captures signals without stored DTCs
- ECU software update check and guided reflash system
- Automated intermittent signal logging and anomaly detection
App Concept
GhostLight Diagnostic
GhostLight Diagnostic is a mobile OBD2 app and hardware kit that captures real-time sensor data and intermittent signals missed by standard ECUs. It isolates false warning lights by logging voltage fluctuations, CAN bus errors, and pending diagnostic trouble codes (PDTCs) that don't trigger a full DTC, giving riders and mechanics actionable insights without guesswork.
Key Features
- Real-time CAN bus monitoring and logging
- Pending DTC (PDTC) detection for intermittent faults
- Voltage and signal waveform recording during engine-on cycles
- ECU software update checking and guided reflash via cloud
- Shareable diagnostic report for service centers
Target Users: Motorcycle owners and small independent repair shops dealing with intermittent check engine lights or no-code faults.
Revenue Model: $14.99/mo subscription for app with cloud logging, or $49.99 one-time purchase of OBD2 adapter plus free basic app.
