8 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The vehicle data is read out via
the vehicle's legally mandated
diagnostic socket.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data so
that the vehicle can run.
Examples of this include:
Status messages from the ve-
hicle and its individual com-
ponents, such as wheel speed,
wheel centrifugal velocity and
deceleration
Ambient conditions, such as
temperature
The data is processed only in
the vehicle itself and is usu-
ally temporary. The data is not
stored beyond the period in
which the vehicle is operating.
Electronic components such
as control units contain com-

information. This may be infor-

or faults stored temporarily or
permanently.
This information generally doc-

surrounding area; for example:
Operating states of system
components, such as fill levels
and tire pressure
Malfunctions and faults in key
system components, such as
lights and brakes
Vehicle responses in specific
riding situations, such as the
activation of riding dynamics
systems
Information about events
causing damage to the vehicle
The data is necessary for pro-
viding control unit functions. In
addition, it is used by the vehi-

eliminate malfunctions as well
as to optimize vehicle func-

The majority of this data is
temporary and is processed
only within the vehicle itself.
Only a small amount of event-
driven data is stored in the
event data recorder and fault
memory.
When a vehicle is serviced,
such as for repairs, servicing
processes, warranty cases and
quality assurance measures,
this technical information can
be read out from the vehicle
together with the vehicle iden-

The information can be
read out by an authorized
