ctrcheck is a custom GodMode9 script that does a large number of sanity checks and checksums on a 3DS' firmware to make troubleshooting easier through fault isolation, though it can also automatically fix certain issues.
Required Reading
Ctrcheck does not fix the majority of issues by itself, and instead only informs the user that they exist. Some of the issues it checks for may still require large amounts of knowledge to fix - this script is not a 'miracle cure' and should not be treated as such.
Additionally, at current ctrcheck only does checks within the NAND. If you have an issue that might be caused by the SD card instead, the pages Formatting an SD card and/or Checking SD card integrity may be more useful.
