Diagnostics and Malfunctions

The Garmin eLog app records malfunctions and diagnostic
events when the app detects critical functions that do not
conform to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) specifications. When a malfunction is detected, the
driver and motor carrier are subject to responsibilities as
directed by FMCSA guidelines.
