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 conditions for airbag
deployment and, if so equipped, 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.
If your vehicle is equipped with StabiliTrak
®, steering
performance, including yaw rate, steering wheel
angle, and lateral acceleration, is also recorded.
This information has been used to improve vehicle
crash performance and may be used to improve crash
performance of future vehicles and driving safety.
