System introduction
The event data recorder (EDR) is mainly
used to record data related to vehicle dy-
namic system and safety system when a
vehicle collision happens in order to help
understand the operation conditions of ve-
hicle system. However, since collision se-
verity and type vary, EDR may not record
the data.
Notice
EDR records data only when a vehicle
meets a major collision. When the vehicle
runs normally, EDR does not record data.
Data reading
Except the vehicle manufacturer, other
parties (such as law enforcement agen-
cies) can read the data recorded in EDR
after connecting the laptop with the on-
board diagnostic interface to enter the
EDR by using CANoe equipment.
The data reading equipment can be
purchased from CANoe software vendors.
The data items recorded by EDR and their
uses are as follows:
Data item Applications
