The Malfunctions and Diagnostics Report is intended to inform the fleet of any periods of time
when an ELD has determined that it may not be functioning according
to federal regulations, so that investigative and corrective action can be taken.
Malfunctions and Diagnostics are tracked only for Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs); to view
functional problems with Automatic On-Board Recording Devices (AOBRDs), see the
Device Failure Report.
View the
Malfunctions and Diagnostics Troubleshooting Guide
for more details about what Malfunctions and Diagnostics are, what conditions are likely to
trigger them, and what corrective actions can be taken to clear them.

The Malfunctions and Diagnostics Report searches all Malfunction and Diagnostic records for
the selected range, looking for events associated with a device and/or a vehicle. The greater the
date range, the more system intensive the search. Restricting the date range ensures that
your report will load faster.
