SRS airbag deployment data
SRS airbag system diagnostic
data
If your vehicle is equipped with a
vehicle stability control (VSC) sys-
tem, its Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) may contain another EDR.
There are a variety of driving situ-
ations which include activating the
VSC under which the VSC EDR
will record certain information. The
VSC EDR may record some or all
of the following information:
Behavior of the vehicle
Steering wheel angle
Vehicle speed
To what extent the accelerator
pedal was depressed
To what extent the brake ped-
al was applied
To what extent the ECU con-
trolled the condition of the 4
wheels
Vehicle stability control sys-
tem diagnostic data
The information above is intended
to be used for the purpose of im-
proving vehicle safety perfor-
mance. Unlike general data record-
ers, the EDR does not record
sound data such as conversation
between passengers.Toyota will not disclose the data
recorded in an EDR to a third
party except when:
An agreement from the ve-
hicle’s owner (or the leasing
company for a leased vehicle)
is obtained
Officially requested by the po-
lice or other authorities
Used as a defence for Toyota
in a law suit
Ordered by the court
However, if necessary Toyota will:
Use the data for research on
Toyota vehicle safety perfor-
mance
Disclose the data to a third
party for research purposes
without disclosing details of
the vehicle owner, and only
when it is deemed necessary
Disclose summarized data
cleared of vehicle identifica-
tion information to a non −To -
yota organization for research
purposes
