Diagnostics and Malfunctions
The Garmin eLog app records malfunctions and diagnostic
events when the app detects critical functions that do not
conform to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) specifications. When a malfunction is detected, the
driver and motor carrier are subject to responsibilities as
directed by FMCSA guidelines.
Driver Responsibilities
• The driver must note the malfunction of the ELD and provide
written notice of the malfunction to the motor carrier within 24
hours.
• The driver must reconstruct the Record of Duty Status
(RODS) for the current 24-hour period and the previous 7
consecutive days, and record the records of duty status on
graph-grid paper logs that comply with 49 CFR 395.8, unless
the driver already has the records or retrieves them from the
ELD.
• The driver must continue to manually prepare RODS in
accordance with 49 CFR 395.8 until the ELD is serviced and
returned to a compliant status.
Motor Carrier Responsibilities
• The motor carrier must correct, repair, replace, or service the
malfunctioning ELD within eight days of discovering the
condition or a driver's notification to the motor carrier,
whichever occurs first.
• The motor carrier must require the driver to maintain a paper
RODS record until the ELD is back in service.
