DATA LOGGING

EVENT DATA RECORDING DEVICES

This PREVOST vehicle is equipped with a device generally referred to as an "event data recorder" or "EDR."
Please note that while the term "event data recorder" is typically used throughout the motor vehicle industry, not
every EDR is the same; i.e., they do not all record the same data elements.
The EDR on this PREVOST vehicle records vehicle speed, engine RPM, time and date, plus a variety of pedal
and switch positions, both before and after an "event." Sudden vehicle deceleration or the occurrence of certain
other vehicle operational characteristics will define (trigger) an "event."
For any questions about this vehicle EDR device, contact a PREVOST Service Center or a regional service
manager.

ELECTRONIC LOGGING DEVICE (ELD)

This vehicle is equipped with a dedicated ELD interface connector located under the lower left part of the
dashboard. This SAE J1939 9 PIN connector is compatible with most FMCSA approved ELD and will ensure
that the ELD will not interfere with the vehicle communication, diagnostic and/or driving systems.
Please take note that the OBD connector is only intended as a diagnostic equipment connection.
Installing an aftermarket plug-in device that uses the OBD port may cause interference and/or damage to the
vehicle systems, potentially affecting safe operation.
Both connectors (OBD and ELD) are clearly identified under the dash by stickers. The OBD port must remain
unconnected at all times except during vehicle maintenance (using Prevost approved diagnostic
equipment only).
Connecting aftermarket equipment to the OBD connector may lead to:
Incorrect emission monitoring and failure to meet the requirements of emission tests.
l
Erratic behaviour of one or more of the vehicle safety devices/driving aids, increasing the risk of
l
accidents.
False code readings and inconsistency during vehicle diagnostic procedures, increasing vehicle down
l
time.
Unreliable ELD connection/recording and potential violations with the federal ELD regulations*.
