Data memory
General information
Electronic control devices are installed in
the vehicle. Electronic control units process
data they receive from vehicle sensors, self-
generate or exchange with each other. Some
control units are necessary for the vehicle
to function safely or provide assistance dur-
ing driving, for instance driver assistance
systems. Furthermore, control units facili-
tate comfort or infotainment functions.
Information about stored or exchanged data
can be requested from the manufacturer of
the vehicle, in a separate booklet, for exam-
ple.
Personal reference
Each vehicle is marked with a unique vehi-
cle identification number. Depending on the
country, the vehicle owner can be identified
with the vehicle identification number, li-
cense plate and corresponding authorities.
In addition, there are other options to track
data collected in the vehicle to the driver or
vehicle owner, for instance via utilized
services.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data to operate the ve-
hicle.
For example, this includes:
– Status messages for the vehicle and its
individual components, e.g., wheel
RPM, wheel speed, deceleration, lateral
acceleration, engaged seat belt indica-
tor.
– Ambient conditions, e.g., temperature,
rain sensor signals.
The processed data is only processed in the
vehicle itself and generally volatile. The
data is not stored beyond the operating pe-
riod.
Electronic components, e.g. control units
and vehicle keys, contain components for
storing technical information. Information
about the vehicle condition, component us-
age, maintenance recommendations, events
or faults can be stored temporarily or per-
manently.
This information generally documents the
state of a component, a module, a system, or
the surrounding area, for instance:
– Operating states of system components,
for instance, fill levels, tire pressure,
battery status.
– Malfunctions and faults in important
system components, for instance lights
and brakes.
– Responses by the vehicle to special driv-
ing situations such as airbag deploy-
ment or engagement of the driving sta-
bility control systems.
– Information on vehicle-damaging
events.
The data is required to perform the control
unit functions. Furthermore, it also serves
