Vehicle Data Collection and Event
Data Recorders
Your vehicle, like other modern motor vehicles,
has a number of sophisticated computer
systems that monitor and control several
aspects of the vehicle’s performance. Your
vehicle uses on-board vehicle computers
to monitor emission control components to
optimize fuel economy, to monitor conditionsfor airbag deployment and, if the vehicle has
the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), to provide
anti-lock braking and to help the driver control
the vehicle in difficult driving situations.
Some information may be stored during regular
operations to facilitate repair of detected
malfunctions; other information is stored only
in a crash event by computer systems, such
as those commonly called Event Data
Recorders (EDR).
In a crash event, computer systems, such as the
airbag Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) in
your vehicle may record information about the
condition of the vehicle and how it was
operated, such as data related to engine speed,
brake application, throttle position, vehicle
speed, safety belt usage, airbag readiness,
airbag performance, and the severity of a
collision. This information has been used to
improve vehicle crash performance and may be
used to improve crash performance of future
vehicles and driving safety. Unlike the data
recorders on many airplanes, these on-board
systems do not record sounds, such as
conversation of vehicle occupants.
