SRS airbag system diagnostic data
If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability control
(VSC) system, its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may contain
another EDR. There are a variety of driving situations which
include activating the VSC under which the VSC EDR will
record certain information. The VSC EDR may record some
or all of the following information:
Behavior of the vehicle
Steering wheel angle
Vehicle speed
To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
To what extent the brake pedal was applied
To what extent the ECU controlled the condition of the
4 wheels
Vehicle stability control system diagnostic data
The information above is intended to be used for the purpose
of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data
recorders, the EDR does not record sound data such as
conversation between passengers.
Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a
third party except when:
An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leasing
company for a leased vehicle) is obtained
Officially requested by the police or other authorities
Used as a defense for Toyota in a law suit
Ordered by the court
However, if necessary Toyota will:
Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety
performance
Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes
without disclosing details of the vehicle owner, and only
when it is deemed necessary
Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identifica-
tion information to a non−Toyota organization for re-
search purposes
