These electronic control modules record data during normal vehicle
operation that may be needed by trained technicians for diagnostic
and repair purposes. The recording capability of these modules is
limited to data (no sound is recorded). Only a small amount of data
is actually recorded over a very limited period of time, or stored
when a system fault is detected by a control module. Some of the
data stored may relate to vehicle speed, direction, or braking, as
well as restraint system use and performance in the event of a
crash. Stored data can also only be read and downloaded with
special equipment that is directly connected to the vehicle.

Introduction
Mobile or cellular telephones send and receive radio waves,
sometimes called radiofrequency energy (RF energy), both when

level can have effects on the human body. Limits and guidelines
have been established by governmental authorities and
international committees in an effort to keep the electromagnetic
radiation from mobile phones at levels that will not cause health
