NOTES
This information generally
records the state of a compo-
nent, a module, a system, or the
environment, for instance:
• Operating states of system
components, e.g., fill levels,
tire inflation pressure, battery
status.
• Malfunctions and faults in
important system compo-
nents, for instance lights and
brakes.
• Responses by the vehicle to
special situations such as air-
bag deployment or engage-
ment of the driving stability
control systems.
• Information on vehicle-dam-
aging events.
The data is required to perform
the control device functions.
Furthermore, it also serves to
recognize and correct malfunc-
tions, and helps the vehicle
manufacturer to optimize vehicle
functions.
The majority of this data is tran-
sient and is only processed
within the vehicle itself. Only a
small share of the data is stored
event-related in event or fault
memories.
When servicing, for instance
during repairs, service pro-
cesses, warranty cases, and
quality assurance measures,
this technical information can be
read out from the vehicle
together with the vehicle identifi-
cation number.
Your Toyota dealer can read out
the information. The socket for
OBD Onboard Diagnosis
required by law in the vehicle is
used to read out the data.
The data is collected, pro-
cessed, and used by the rele-
vant organizations in the service
network. The data documents
technical conditions of the vehi-
cle, helps with the identification
of the fault, compliance with
warranty obligations and quality
improvement.
Furthermore, the manufacturer
has product monitoring duties to
meet in line with product liability
law. To fulfill these duties, the
vehicle manufacturer needs
technical data from the vehicle.
The data from the vehicle can
also be used to check customer
claims for warranty and guar-
anty.
Fault and event memories in the
vehicle can be reset when your
Toyota dealer performs repair or
servicing work.
Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment, comfort and Customize
settings can be stored in the
vehicle and modified or reset at
