– Responses by the vehicle to special sit-
uations such as airbag deployment or
engagement of the driving stability con-
trol systems.
– Information on vehicle-damaging
events.
The data is required to perform the control
unit functions. Furthermore, it also serves
to recognize and correct malfunctions, and
helps the vehicle manufacturer to optimize
vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is stored tempora-
rily and is only processed within the vehicle
itself. In some circumstances the vehicle
may store some data for an additional but
limited period of time.
When servicing, for instance during repairs,
service processes, warranty cases, and qual-
ity assurance measures, this technical infor-
mation can be read out from the vehicle to-
gether with the vehicle identification
number.
A dealer’s service center or another quali-
fied service center or repair shop can read
out the information. The socket for OBD On-
board Diagnosis required by law in the ve-
hicle is used to read out the data.
The data is collected, processed, and used
by the relevant organizations in the service
network. The data documents technical con-
ditions of the vehicle, which can be used to
determine vehicle maintenance status, and
facilitate quality improvement.
Fault and event memories in the vehicle can
be reset when a dealer’s service center or
another qualified service center or repair
shop performs repair or servicing work.
