Malfunctions and Data Diagnostics
According to FMCSA requirements, each ELD device must monitor its
compliance with the ELD technical standards and detect malfunctions
and data diagnostics. The ELD output will identify these data diagnostic
and malfunction events and their status as either "detected" or
"cleared."


If there are any malfunctions or data diagnostic issues detected, the M/
D icon at the top of the app screen will change its color from green to
red. The red M letter will signal a malfunction, and the red D letter will
indicate a data diagnostic.


According to FMCSA requirements (49 CFR  395.34 ELD malfunctions
and data diagnostic events), in the case of an ELD malfunction, a driver
must do the following:

1. Note the malfunction of the ELD and provide written notice of the
malfunction to the motor carrier within 24 hours.

2. Reconstruct the record of duty status for the current 24-hour period
and the previous 7 consecutive days, and record the records of duty
status on graph-grid paper logs that comply with 395.8, unless the
driver already possesses the records or the records are retrievable from
the ELD.

3. Continue to manually prepare a record of duty status in accordance
with  395.8 until the ELD is serviced and brought back into compliance
with this subpart. 

Note: If you are facing any issues during the DOT inspection, please be
ready to provide the manually kept and filled RODS (records of duty
status) to the roadside inspector.
