SRS airbag deployment data
SRS airbag system diagnostic data
If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability con-
trol (VSC) system, its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may
contain another EDR. There are a variety of driving
situations which include activating the VSC under which
the VSC EDR will record certain information. The VSC
EDR may record some or all of the following informa-
tion:
Behavior of the vehicle
Steering wheel angle
Vehicle speed
To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
To what extent the brake pedal was applied
To what extent the ECU controlled the condition of
the 4 wheels
Vehicle stability control system diagnostic data
The information above is intended to be used for the
purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike
general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound
data such as conversation between passengers.
Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to
a third party except when:
An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leas-
ing company for a leased vehicle) is obtained
Officially requested by the police or other authorities
Used as a defence for Toyota in a law suit
Ordered by the court
However, if necessary Toyota will:
Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety
performance
Disclose the data to a third party for research pur-
poses without disclosing details of the vehicle own-
er, and only when it is deemed necessary
Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identifi-
cation information to a non- Toyota organization for
research purposes
