ABSTRACT:
A defect reporting system for a vehicle having at least one electronic control unit, includes a check-control module that is connected with the at least one control unit and receives a report from the latter. An indicating device is connected with the check-control module, for displaying at least one information as a function of the transmitted report. The at least one control unit is configured such that it can independently evaluate reporting conditions and, upon the occurrence of predetermined situations, can emit a corresponding malfunction report to the check-control module. A table in which the at least one information is stored for each report is accessible by the check-control module, whereby the at least one information assigned to the report can be read out and shown by way of the indicating device.
