  • Crash Data Recorder?

    Does anyone know if there is any type of crash data recorder in the 96 F-Bodies?

    My car was just totalled and Id like to see if theres any way of telling what exactly happened. I know some cars do come with them.

          What data exactly are you looking to get from it? Most crash investigations just use basic physics, but now they use computers to input all the data. D=

            If it is 5 seconds, as I needed to know, then its just going to see that my car was sideways - errrrrrr

              from what I understand it is usually associated with the airbag system, I think it's like a CYA thing for GM so if something happens and your air bag goes off they can say "well you were going X miles an hour and decellerated at.. blah blah blah.. and that's why your airbag went off" I have no clue how to get that info out though...

                im 99% sure its only for 5 seconds or so before the airbag went off. it tells you speed, breaking applied, throttle position, and a bunch of other ****.

                ask a gm dealer. probably on the PCM.

                  It could be stored in the airbag module, located under the arm rest storage compartment.

                    They had a thing on a nightly news about this. a guy in a pewter T/A hit these girls at a 100 mph or something and killed them. they were going to school. anyway they pulled it out from under the passanger side seat and it records only the first 5 seconds before bag deployment. like a mini flight data recorder :D

                      this guy was driving drunk doing 120 down a 30 mph residential street at around 1 am and killed 2 girls pulling out of a driveway and pushed them 3 houses they died but he lived the news said that the car had a data recorder and that helped convict him
