Using Collected Data Viewing and Printing Collected … Engineering Translation Reports For most...

Using Collected DataThis section of the Help File is intended to provide information about a wide range of topics including what you can do with the EDR data once it is downloaded from a vehicle and the type of data you may expect for from an ECU using one of the listed manufacturer CDR cables.

Click on any of the links below for further information on the subject.

Viewing and Printing Collected DataViewing DataAfter successfully collecting data from a module, the end user is prompted to save the CDR file. The type of data recovered is shown on the right hand side of the status bar at the bottom of the screen (see below). Use the Preview Report menu selection from the File menu or icon to view the data.

Status Bar

Printing a reportThe CDR report can be printed to a printer or saved as a Portable Document File (PDF). To print a graph you must be viewing the graph you wish to print. Then choose the Print selection under the File menu or press the Print button on the toolbar.

CDR Report FormattingThe CDR report includes data which is translated using OEM specifications to human readable information from the original hexadecimal data retrieved from the ACM, ROS or PCM. The basic report output is controlled by the CDR software and printed directly from within the program. The format or content of this report cannot be changed and is considered to be the "original CDR report."

In some cases, data collected from certain vehicles can be exported to a "comma-separated values" (CSV), ASCII text file. Once an exported CSV file is imported into a program capable of reading this type of format, it can be reformatted by the end user. However, the original, complete CDR report and raw "CDR" file should be maintained as the "original copies" of the data outside the actual module from which it was readout.

Copying CDR Data to ClipboardThe screen being viewed can be copied to the Windows clipboard by selecting "Copy To Clipboard" under the File menu. Once the data is copied, it can be pasted into a document.

Hexadecimal DataAll of the data that the vehicle manufacture has requested to be retrieved is shown in the hexadecimal data section of the CDR report. It may contain data that is not converted by the CDR program.

GM Engineering Translation ReportsFor most newer GM vehicles, the CDR tool provides an Engineering Translation Report in addition to the typical CDR Report.

It is important users understand that the Engineering Translation Report (ETR) is a hexadecimal data translation tool. Unlike the CDR report, the ETR may translate and display data elements for an EDR system which may or may not be supported on or configured for the vehicle being interrogated. For some vehicle applications, the ETR may include data elements which are not supported or displayed in the CDR Report. Therefore, the ETR should only be used by qualified individuals who possess a working knowledge of the EDR system in question.

Exporting CDR Report Data to a CSV FileIn recent years, the amount of EDR data made accessible to accident investigators through the CDR tool has increased significantly as demonstrated in the Ford PCM CDR reports. The large amount of data from these new systems made it necessary for Bosch to implement a feature which allows the user to easily export CDR report data into a generic format for import into other analytical tools and third party PC applications without changing the CDR file itself.

Starting with CDR version 3.0, a new feature was added to the CDR tool which allows users to export EDR data retrieved from Ford PCMs to a Comma Separated Values (CSV) formatted ASCII text file. The CSV formatted file maintains the tabular organization of the data so that it can be easily imported into other third party software such as databases or spreadsheet applications.

Vehicle systems that Support CSV ExportAs new CDR software releases are made available, Bosch will extend the support for the CSV Export feature to most newly supported vehicle systems. To determine which vehicle systems CSV export function supports, refer to the Supported Vehicles section of this help file and look for the CSV icon located under the supported EDR module (see the screen shot below).



CSV support for a vehicle system is indicated by the CSV icon

Export CDR Data to a CSV FileFollow the instructions below to export CDR data to a CSV file:

1. Open a CDR file or download data from a system that supports the CSV Export function. The CSV toolbar Icon will be active if the CSV function is supported for the CDR file are working with.

2. Click on the CSV button in the CDR application tool bar.

3. Click the "Save" button in the "Save Report" window that appears, prompting you to save the data into a CSV type file. By default, the file will be saved in the same folder as the CDR file and the file name will pre-fill with the same name as CDR file you have open.

4. You are now ready to import or open the newly created CSV file using a third party tool that supports CSV file formats, spreadsheet application or a text editor.

Save CDR Report to Adobe PDF FileIf you wish to share CDR reports with others who do not have access to the CDR software, you can save the CDR report as an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file which allows anyone who has an Adobe Acrobat reader to view it. The PDF file that is created looks just like the CDR report as it is shown in the CDR software.

Save Your CDR Report to PDF FormatFollow the instructions below to save a CDR report to PDF:

1. Open a CDR file or download data from a supported vehicle.



2. Click on the PDF button in the CDR application tool bar.

3. Click the "Save" button in the "Save Report" window that appears, prompting you to save the CDR report to a PDF file. By default, the file will be saved in the same folder as the CDR file and the file name will pre-fill with the same name as the CDR file you have open.

Saving Collected Data Without a VIN Sequence NumberIf you want to share CDR files with others without revealing a vehicle's unique Vehicle Identification Number included in CDR reports, PDF files or CSV export files, use the function called "Save file without sequence number" to create a new CDR file with the unique VIN production sequence number removed.

When you use this function, the CDR application will replace the last 6 numbers (production sequence number) of all VINs shown in the CDR report with asterisk characters (*). The application removes the sequence number from two types of VINs including user entered VIN and VINs acquired from the ECU[1] and, creates a new CDR file with the modified VIN numbers. All viewed and printed CDR reports, PDF files and CSV exported data created with this new CDR file will include the modified VIN numbers.

In addition to CDR reports, printouts, PDFs and CSV files, this function also removes VIN sequence numbers from all raw binary and hex data[1] in the CDR file.

Saving a CDR file without Sequence NumberFollow the steps below to save a CDR file without a VIN sequence number. Note that when you save a CDR file without a VIN sequence number, you will actually create a new file in addition to the one you started with.

1. Open a CDR file or download data from a supported vehicle. If you are downloading data, make sure you save the CDR file when prompted to do so.

2. Click on the "File" menu and then click "Save Without VIN Sequence Number".

3. Type a file name in the "File name" field of the "Save without sequence number" window. The name you type in this field will become the name of the new CDR file with VIN sequence numbers removed.

4. From the "Save as Type" field of the "Save without sequence number" window, you can choose to "Clear comments and case information" which will remove all the comments and case information stored with the file (see below for screen shot).

5. Click the "Save" button in the "Save without sequence number" window. The new file will be saved in the same folder as the CDR file you originally opened.

6. Once the new file is saved without VIN sequence numbers, the CDR application will return to displaying the CDR file you started with which contains the entire VIN information. If you wish to view the new CDR file that contains the VINs with the sequence numbers removed, then you will need to open the file to view it.



7. Go to the folder you saved the new CDR file, open it with the CDR application and preview the CDR report. Note that the last 6 digits of all VINs were replaced with asterisks. Below are excerpts from an example of a PCM CDR file showing the various places in a CDR report where the VIN number is changed.

1 The CDR application will remove sequence numbers from all VIN hex data acquired from the ECU that Bosch is aware of based on the information provided by the vehicle manufacturer at the time the CDR product is developed.

Clear comments and Case Information

Chrysler Output ContentThe typical CDR report from a Chrysler vehicle includes several components/parts depending on the particular type of module being accessed. The report is a display of the interpretation of the recovered hexadecimal data to a plain language format. The data elements found in one report may not be the same as those found in another report depending on the module type. The general layout spans several pages.

The Chrysler reports include the following CDR report sections. It is important to note that, depending on the vehicle capabilities, some of the sections listed below after System Configuration at Retrieval may not be included in all Chrysler CDR reports.

CDR File Information - includes information about the download and CDR file information.

Comments - Includes any use entered comments.

Data Limitations - this section includes the manufacturer authored information and limitations of the data included in the CDR report.

System Status at Retrieval - includes information that is not considered crash data but is about the state of the module at the time of the download.

System Configuration at Retrieval - this section also does not include crash data but includes information such as how the ACM restraints were configured at the time the EDR data was downloaded.

System Status at Event - includes crash data which is specific to the system status at the time the



deployment/non-deployment event was triggered.

Deployment Command Data - this data is also considered crash data and includes device deployment command information.

DTCs Present at Start of Event - crash data which includes a list of DTCs present at the start of the event

Longitudinal Crash Pulse - crash data which includes longitudinal g-data and/or delta-V data

Lateral Crash Pulse - crash data which includes lateral g-data and/or delta-V data

Rollover Crash Pulse - crash data which includes rollover (roll angle)

Pre-Crash Data - crash data which includes was recorded for some period of time prior to the crash. This data is typically includes information which was recorded off of the vehicle's network data bus from other ECUs in the vehicle.

Hexadecimal Data - this section of the report includes all the raw data collected from the vehicle during the download. Not all hexadecimal data is translated in the CDR report.

The basic report cannot be edited within in the CDR System software. Exported tabular format into a "CSV" file may be imported into another program and reformatted to meet the end user’s display preferences. The report may also be saved as a "PDF" file and distributed in that format to those who do not have the CDR System software.

Ford Output ContentThe typical CDR report from a Ford vehicle includes several components/parts depending on the particular type of module being accessed. The report is a display of the interpretation of the recovered hexadecimal data to a plain language format. The data elements found in one report may not be the same as those found in another report depending on the module type. The general layout spans several pages.

On the first page of the report, the end user will find the File Information block followed by a body of text known as the "Data limitations" text. After that, the end user will find the System Status Summary for the file type (deployment or non-deployment) downloaded.

After the System Status section, the end user will typically find the Delta-V and acceleration graph which is made up of the information in the next section which is the acceleration and delta-V Data Table.

The next section is a display of the hexadecimal data copied from the RCM which is not converted to human readable form. The last part of the report reflects the comments (if any) entered by the Technician at the time of the readout.

The basic report cannot be edited within in the CDR System software. Exported tabular format into a "CSV" file may be imported into another program and reformatted to meet the end user’s display preferences. The report may also be saved as a "PDF" file and distributed in that format to those who do not have the CDR System software.

CDR Cable Number 02003043This section provides general information about the EDR capability of the ACM(s) this cable connects to and the type of EDR data that may be recorded. Always refer to the Data Limitations section of the CDR report for further information about the ACM and limitations of the data retrieved. The information included in the CDR report's Data Limitations section for this ACM is considered to be more precise and current than the generalized information included below. The actual data retrieved from the ACM may differ from what is described below. Review all



vehicle coverage notes which are referenced in the Supported Vehicle list for this ACM before attempting to retrieve data from it.

The ACM accessed by this cable is not capable of capturing "pre-crash" data; however, it records important information about the status of the vehicle at impact and the activities of the airbag control module (the Restraint Control Module or RCM) to deploy restraint system components.

The report may provide the end user with several data elements including but not limited to:

Driver’s and right front passenger’s seat belt status (Buckled/Unbuckled)

Driver seat track forward of position sensor (Yes/No).

Time from algorithm enable to driver’s and passenger’s seat belt pretensioner deployment enable (msec)

Time from algorithm enable to driver’s and passenger’s air bag deployment enable (msec)

Timing of the deployment command for various restraint systems including the driver’s and passenger’s first and, where applicable, second stage airbags and belt pretensioners for buckled occupants

Longitudinal Crash Pulse data including a data table and data graph showing the longitudinal acceleration and resulting change in forward velocity (delta-V, MPH) versus time. (Acceleration and delta-V polarity conforms to SAE J211)

Taurus/Sable modules have 78ms duration from algorithm wake up. Non Taurus/Sable modules have 134 to 142 data points at 1.0 ms intervals before wake-up and 0.8 ms intervals after wake-up. These modules display 50ms after deployment, the remaining time is before deployment and typically some is before algorithm wake up. Users should be aware that crashes typically last 100 to 150 milliseconds and that the limited time duration of data in these modules may not be sufficient to capture the entire crash. Proper use of this limited data is taught in the Bosch-approved CDR analyst training class.

For MY01 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable only, the report also displays lateral Crash Pulse data including a data table and data graph showing the lateral acceleration and resulting change in forward velocity (delta-V, MPH) versus time (Acceleration and delta-V polarity conforms to SAE J211).

Right front passenger Occupant Classification Status indicator for those vehicles equipped with the appropriate system.

Caution: If there is any question that the restraint system did not perform as it was designed to perform, please read the system only through the diagnostic link connector. The Bosch CDR tool provides an ACM interface cable to plug directly into the restraint control module. The Bosch CDR ACM Interface Cable connects only power, ground, and memory read pins to the relevant vehicle restraint control module. The other RCM pins normally connect to inputs, such as sensors, and outputs, such as airbags, are not connected when you use the RCM Interface Cable to plug directly into the module. Since the vehicle restraint control module is constantly monitoring airbag system readiness, it will detect that the sensors and airbags are not connected. The restraint control module may record a new diagnostic trouble code into memory for each device that is not connected. These new diagnostic trouble codes may record over previously written diagnostic trouble codes present prior to the accident and spoil evidence necessary to determine if the restraint system performed in the accident as it was designed to perform. Not only could this prevent Ford from being able to determine if the system performed as it was designed to perform, but, regardless of innocent inadvertence, you could raise issues of evidence spoliation in any litigation that may arise out of the accident. If you cannot read the module via the diagnostic link connector, and if you suspect improper system performance, contact Ford Motor Company and request their assistance to read the module with a proper vehicle simulator attached. If you choose to read via the module connector, Ford recommends that you do so in the vehicle and that you leave the second large connector plugged into the vehicle wiring harness to minimize the number of new diagnostic trouble codes created.

The actual data retrieved from the ACM may differ from what is described below. Review all vehicle coverage notes for this ACM which are referenced in the Supported Vehicle list before attempting to retrieve data from it.

The module accessed using this cable is not capable of capturing "pre-crash" data; however, it records important information about the status of the vehicle at impact and the activities of the airbag control module (the Restraint Control Module or RCM) to deploy restraint system components.

The report will provide the end user with several data elements including but not limited to:

The number of restraint system diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) present when the event occurred


Timing of the deployment command for various restraint systems including the driver’s and passenger’s first and, where applicable, second stage airbags and belt pretensioners for buckled occupants (msec)

Longitudinal Crash Pulse data including a data table and data graph showing the longitudinal acceleration and resulting change in forward velocity (delta-V, MPH) versus time (Acceleration and delta-V polarity conforms to SAE J211)

The module contains 116 milliseconds of acceleration data at 1ms intervals. Users should be aware that most crashes last 100 to 150 milliseconds, and that the limited time duration of data may not be sufficient to capture the entire crash.





Generally, these modules are not capable of capturing "pre-crash" data; however, they may record important information about the status of the vehicle at impact and the activities of the airbag control module (the Restraint Control Module or RCM) to deploy restraint system components.

Depending on the module type, the report may provide you with several data elements which may include:

Whether or not there were restraint system diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) active when the event occurred

Driver’s and right front passenger’s seat belt status (Buckled/Unbuckled)

Driver seat track forward of position sensor (Yes/No).

Right front passenger Occupant Classification Status indicator for those vehicles equipped with the appropriate system


Timing of the deployment command for various restraint systems including the driver’s and passenger’s first and, where applicable, second stage airbags and belt pretensioners for buckled occupants (msec)

A maximum delta- V recorded as far out in time as the algorithm runs.

Users should be aware that most crashes last 100 to 150ms, but the algorithm run time may go well beyond the end of the crash and the Delta V recorded may overstate or understate the Delta V of the crash depending upon post crash accelerations.

Longitudinal Crash Pulse data including a data table and data graph showing the longitudinal acceleration and resulting change in forward velocity (delta-V, MPH) versus time (Acceleration and delta-V polarity conforms to SAE J211)

The module captures 192 longitudinal acceleration data points at 0.8ms intervals, and 50ms after deployment will be displayed with the remaining time before deployment.

Users should be aware that most crashes last 100 to 150 milliseconds, and that the limited time duration of data in the graph may not be sufficient to capture the entire crash. Proper use of this limited data is taught in the Bosch approved CDR analyst training class.

Generally, these modules can store up to two crash records.

First Crash Record: unlocked (non-deployment) events are stored in the first crash record until another unlocked event occurs or a locked (deployment) event occurs at which time the previous unlocked event will be overwritten. Locked events cannot be overwritten.

Second Crash Record: a second crash event record can be recorded only if the first record is locked and a second locked event occurs within 30 seconds of the first event. Like the first record, unlocked events will get overwritten by other locked events.

Generally, these modules can store up to three crash records. A crash record can consist of a locked (deployment) or unlocked (non-deployment) events. Unlocked events can be overwritten by locked events. Once a locked event is recorded in either crash record, the crash record is then locked and cannot be overwritten. Event Record retention is based on a priority basis, with the highest priority being an event that has deployed safety devices. This type of Event Record will be “locked” meaning that it cannot be overwritten by any other event. Unlocked events can be stored if velocities are significant enough to be considered a recordable event, but not significant enough to make a deployment decision. Unlocked events can be overwritten with more locked or unlocked recent events. Newer events will continue to replace older unlocked events unless all three event records are locked.

Always refer to the Data Limitations section of the CDR report for further information about the PCM and limitations of the data retrieved. The information included in the CDR report's Data Limitations section for this PCM is considered to be more precise and current than the generalized information included below. The actual data retrieved from the PCM may differ from what is described below. Review all



vehicle coverage notes which are referenced in the Supported Vehicle list for this PCM before attempting to retrieve data from it.

These Powertrain Control Modules (PCM) are capable of capturing up to 25 seconds (** see note below) of data from 16 PCM inputs/outputs every 0.2 seconds. When the PCM receives a Restraint Deployment Signal (RDS) from the Restraint Control Module (RCM) indicating a seat belt or airbag deployment event occurred, the PCM will lock 20 seconds of "pre-crash" and record 5 seconds of "post crash" data in the PCM’s memory. If an RDS is not received, the PCM will record these 16 inputs/outputs until the vehicle’s ignition is switched off or power is removed from the PCM.

Important: You must use the cables and adapters provided in the Ford PCM Interface kit and follow the instructions provided in this help file to ensure that the data is collected without accidental data spoliation. Click here for instructions on how to use your CDR PCM cables and adapter when collecting data from Ford PCMs.
