EDR "Black Box" Scanner & PDF Crash Reports for Accident Investigators

WHEN INVESTIGATING A VEHICLE CRASH

Use the CrashScan app with an OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth adapter to scan a vehicle's computer modules, including the Event Data Recorder (EDR), or "black box," where supported (see below). CrashScan helps investigators identify, extract, and analyze stored pre-crash data. This data can validate auto insurance claims and serve as a key indicator for determining liability or investigating suspicious claims.

DETAILED CRASH REPORTS

A successful CrashScan provides a report detailing impact severity, impact direction (front/rear/side), and key context, such as:

- Accident severity: minor, moderate, or severe

- EDR trigger threshold information

- 5.0 seconds of pre-crash data: speed, brake and accelerator pedal application, and steering input

- Occupant count and seatbelt status

- An estimated repair cost (economic impact in $)

- Likelihood of structural crush damage

- Injury risk thresholds (whiplash, injury duration)

- Typical g-forces from daily activities for comparison

*Injury risk algorithms analyze stored acceleration data against scientific research and databases like the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS).

PRIVACY LEGISLATION STATUS (EDR DATA)

Canada: No specific legislation; data is considered diagnostic and "non-private." However, insurers typically obtain consent as a best practice.

United States: The federal Driver Privacy Act of 2015 (enacted December 2015) limits EDR data retrieval and states the data belongs to the vehicle's owner or lessee. Seventeen states have additional EDR privacy laws: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. These laws generally require owner/policyholder consent for data download, with specific

exceptions.
