5-1. Essential information
Event data recorder
In a crash or a near crash event
The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or near
crash event, this device may record some or all of the following informa-
tion:
l Engine speed
l Whether the brake pedal was applied or not
l Vehicle speed
l To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
l Position of the transmission shift lever
l Whether the driver and front passenger wore seat belts or not
l Driver's seat position
l SRS airbag deployment data
l SRS airbag system diagnostic data
l Front passenger’s occupant classification
The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of improv-
ing vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders, the EDR
does not record sound data such as conversation between passengers.
Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain aspects of
your vehicle. These computers assist in driving and maintaining optimal
vehicle performance.
Besides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is an event data
recorder (EDR) that records data in a crash or near crash event.
