In addition toprov iding the actual control unit
function, this data assists the manufacturer in
de tecting and rectifying faults and optimising
ve hicle functions. The majority of this data is
te mp orary and is only processed in theve hicle
itself. Only a small portion of the data is stored
in theev ent or fault memor y.
When your vehicle is serviced, tech nical da ta
from theve hicle can be read out byservice net‐
wo rkemplo yees (e.g. workshops, manufactur‐
ers) or third parties (e.g. breakdown services).
Services include repair services, maintenance
processes, warranty claims and quality assur‐ ance measures,
forex ample. The read out is per‐
fo rm ed via the legally prescribed port forthe
diagnostics connection in theve hicle. The
re spective service network locations or third
parties collect, process and use the data. They
document tech nical statuses of theve hicle,
assist in finding faults and impr oving quality and
are transmit tedto the manufacturer, if neces‐
sar y.Fu rthermore, the manufacturer is subject
to product liability. Forth is, the manufacturer
