摘要： A diagnostic apparatus for a vehicle can display diagnostic results and an indication of whether or not the diagnosis has been completed with a single display device. The diagnostic apparatus adapted to be mounted on the vehicle for diagnosing the vehicle based on driving condition parameters of the vehicle includes a display device or an indicator for indicating presence or absence of malfunction based on the diagnostic results, means for switching the diagnostic apparatus into a notification mode in response to a predetermined operation state, and a display control unit for displaying on the display device the indication of whether or not the diagnosis has been completed in response to being switched into the notification mode. The indication of whether or not the diagnosis has been uncompleted can be displayed on the display device by switching into a notification mode in response to the predetermined operation status. The display device may be a lamp provided near a driver's seat in the vehicle, and the indication of whether or not the diagnosis has been completed may be effected by blinking the lamp.
