  1. Notify the motor carrier within 24 hours
  2. Driver must reconstruct the RODS for the current 24 hour period on graph-grid paper logs
    1. If previous 7 days are NOT accessible on the ELD the Driver must also reconstruct the RODS for the previous 7 days on graph-grid paper logs *
  3. Recording hours of service on a paper log cannot continue for longer than 8 days after the malfunction.
    1. The ELD must be serviced, repaired, or replaced within 8 days of the malfunction occurring
  4. Once the malfunction is resolved the RODS can be reconstructed digitally using the Portal or the ELD

* Even with the previous 7 days available on the ELD, the driver needs to manually create RODS until the ELD is serviced, or the malfunction is cleared and back in compliance.

  • Data Transfer Compliance Diagnostic Event cannot transfer recorded logs to back-end system FIXME
  • Data Transfer Compliance Malfunction cannot transfer recorded logs to back-end system
  • Engine Synchronization Data Diagnostic Events occur when the ELD loses connectivity to any required data source and cannot update the value of the parameters within 5 seconds.  These include; engine power, vehicle motion, odometer, and engine hours.
  • Engine Synchronization Compliance Malfunctions occur when the ELD loses connectivity to any required data source and cannot update the value of the parameters for more than 30 minutes or more over a 24 hour period across all driver profiles, including the unidentified driver profile.  Parameters include; engine power, vehicle motion, odometer, and engine hours.
  • Position Compliance Malfunction occurs when the ELD fails to acquire a valid GPS position within 5 miles of motion and 60 minutes have passed.
  • Power Compliance Diagnostic Events occur when the ELD is not powered within one minute of the vehicle's engine started or if the ELD does not remain powered up while the engine is running.
  • Power Compliance Malfunctions occur when the ELD is not powered for a cumulative driving time of 30 minutes or more over a 24 hour period across all driver profiles, including the unidentified driving profile.
  • Timing Compliance Malfunction occurs when the ELD is not able to synchronize with UTC time and cannot go beyond a difference of 10 minutes at any time.
