In addition to pr ov iding th e actual control unit

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 ‐

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
