In addition to pr ov iding th e actual control unit

st ored in th e ev ent or malfunction memor y.
When yo ur ve hicle is serviced, te ch nical da ta
from th e ve hicle can be re ad out by service net‐
wo rk emplo ye es or th ird parties. Services
include re pair services, maintenance processes, wa rr anty eve nts and qu ality assurance meas‐
ures, fo r ex ample. The re ad out is per fo rm ed via
th e legally prescribed port fo r OBD ("on-board
diagnostics") in th e ve hicle. The re spective
service network locations or th ird parties col‐
lect, process and use th e data. They document
te ch nical st atuses of th e ve hicle, assist in fi nd ‐
i
ng malfunctions and impr ov ing qu ality and are
transmit te d to th e manufacturer, if necessar y.
Fu rt hermore, th e manufacturer is subject to
product liability. Fo r th is, th e manufacturer
re qu ires te ch nical da ta from ve hicles.
Malfunction memories in th e ve hicle can be
re set by a service outlet as part of re pair or
maintenance wo rk .
They can enter data into th e ve hicle's con ve ni‐
ence and inf ot ainment functions th emselves as
