How to Identify Diagnostics & Malfunctions on the ELD APP
The FleetHunt ELD will display distinct signs for Diagnostics & Malfunctions. Diagnostic events will be notified by displaying a D sign and Malfunctions will be displayed using a M sign.
Actions: The diagnostics and Malfunctions cannot be cleared manually by the driver. The ELD will monitor the diagnostics and Malfunctions and will clear them automatically once the requirements have been fulfilled.

List of Malfunctions and Diagnostics
“The standard” in the following points refers to the “Technical Standard for Electronic Logging Devices v.1.2, October 27, 2020.”
Power Compliance

• An ELD must set a power compliance malfunction if the power data diagnostics event described in provision 4.6.1.1(a) of the Standard indicates an aggregated driving time understatement of 30 minutes or more on the ELD over 24 hours across all driver profiles, including the unidentified driver profile.

Engine Synchronization

• An ELD must set an engine synchronization compliance malfunction if connectivity to any of the required data sources specified in provision 4.3.1 of the Standard is lost for more than 30 minutes during 24 hours aggregated across all driver profiles, including the unidentified driver profile.

Timing Compliance

• The ELD must periodically cross-check its compliance with the requirement specified in provision 4.3.1.5 of the Standard concerning an accurate external UTC source and must record a timing compliance malfunction when it can no longer meet the underlying compliance requirement.

Positioning Compliance

• An ELD must monitor elapsed time during periods when the ELD fails to acquire a valid position measurement within 8 kilometers of the CMV’s movement. When such elapsed time exceeds a cumulative 60 minutes over 24 hours, the ELD must set and record a positioning compliance malfunction.

Data Recording Compliance

• An ELD must monitor the completeness of the ELD event record information to the required data elements for each event type and must record a missing data elements data diagnostics event for the driver if any required field is missing at the time of recording.

Monitoring Records Recorded under the Unidentified Driver Profile

• If more than 30 minutes of driving in 24 hours show an unidentified driver on the ELD, the ELD must detect and record an unidentified driving records data diagnostic event and the data diagnostic indicator must be turned on for all drivers authenticated into that ELD for the current day and the following 14 days.

Data Transfer Compliance

• If the monitoring mechanism fails to confirm proper in-service operation of the data transfer mechanism(s), an ELD must record a data transfer data diagnostic event and enter an unconfirmed data transfer mode.

In case of a malfunction

A Driver must do the following:

1. Contact Air ELD support for troubleshooting the issue.
2. Note the malfunction of the ELD and provide written notice of the malfunction to the motor carrier within 24 hours.
3. If the ELD records are not retrievable from the ELD, reconstruct the record of duty status for the current 24-hour period and the previous 7 consecutive days.
4. Manually prepare a record of duty status until the ELD is serviced and no longer malfunctioning.

The Motor Carrier should do the following:
If a motor carrier receives or discovers information concerning the malfunction of an ELD, the motor carrier must take actions to correct the malfunction of the ELD within 8 days of discovery of the condition or a driver’s notification to the motor carrier, whichever occurs first.

The ELD provider, i.e., Air ELD should do the following:

• Send a new ELD device upon notification from the carrier.
