Data stored in the vehicle
Electronic control units
There are electronic control units installed in
your vehicle. Some of these are necessary for
your vehicle to operate safely, while some offer
support during driving (driver assistance sys-
tems). In addition, your vehicle offers comfort
and entertainment functions that are also made
possible by electronic control units.
Electronic control units contain data storage
systems that can temporarily or permanently
save technical information concerning the vehi-
cle's condition, component stress and mainte-
nance requirements as well as technical events
and malfunctions.
This information generally documents the con-
dition of a component, a module, a system or the
surroundings, such as:
R
operating states of system components (e.g.
fill levels, battery status, tire pressure)
R
status messages concerning the vehicle or its
individual components (e.g. wheel rpm/
speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration, indi-
cation of whether seat belts are fastened)
R
malfunctions and defects in important system
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
R
information about events leading to vehicle
damage
R
system responses in special driving situations
(e.g. air bag deployment, intervention of sta-
bility control systems)
R
ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain
sensor)
In addition to performing the actual control unit
function, this data is used by manufacturers to
detect and rectify malfunctions and to optimize
vehicle functions. Most of this data is volatile
