| Crash Data Retrieval Technician Training Course |
Providing Quality Accident Reconstruction and Investigation
(8 Hour Class / 1 Day)
Course Description: This course presents students with the opportunity to be trained in the use of Bosch’s Crash
Data Retrieval Tool. Technician Level 1 students are presented with a background of what Crash Data Retrieval is
and how the Crash Data Retrieval Tool evolved. Students will learn how to recognize the vehicles covered by Bosch’
s system, as well as solve connectivity issues to ensure that crash data can be downloaded correctly.
Technician Level 1 students will learn the core terms and system components associated with the download
process and how to avoid evidence spoliation issues through utilization of the preferred methods for downloading
crash data and preserving it. Technician Level 1 students will also be taught special handling and legal
considerations surrounding crash data retrieval.
Requirements: Enrollment in the Technician Level 1 training class does not require the purchase a Bosch Crash
Data Retrieval Tool.
In order to receive their certification as a Level 1 Crash Data Retrieval Technician, students must pass a written final
exam. The exam is based on the material presented throughout the in-class training, examples and reference
materials and is administered at the end of the class.
Prerequisites: none
This course was developed by the Collision Safety Institute and is part of a standardized Technician training
program approved by the Bosch committee, made up of Bosch and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
representatives. This standardization is important to crash data retrieval so all Technician Level 1 students learn
the proper methods of downloading and preserving crash data.

Crash data retrieval (CDR) relies upon an
instrument installed in most passenger cars,
SUVs, and trucks called an event data recorder
(EDR).
An EDR is generally part of a vehicle's airbag
control module, powertrain control module or
rollover sensor and can be configured to store
recorded information such as speed, brake use, or
restraint system performance when a vehicle is
involved in a crash event.
The above photograph shows a powertrain control
module from a 2006 Ford Expedition.

Students who enroll in the Technician Level 2
training course will have an opportunity to download
numerous EDRs.

(4 – 8 Hours / ½ - 1 Day)
Course Description: This course presents students with the opportunity to build hands-on experience in
downloading the crash data stored in a vehicle’s event data recorder (vehicle black box). Technician Level 2
students will perform supervised downloads of vehicle crash data via several approved means, including the Data
Link Connector (DLC) as well as direct to module downloads. Students will have an opportunity to see and perform
downloads from all the major manufacturers covered by Bosch’s Crash Data Retrieval Tool, including General
Motors Family vehicles, Ford Family vehicles, Daimler Chrysler vehicles and Toyota Family vehicles.
Students will also be trained to accomplish a download under complex situations, while still following Bosch’s
preferred method of retrieval. Students will learn the basic terminology and function of vehicle power systems, as
well as how to circumvent electrical system failures through a simplified back-powering method. Students will be
exposed to various commercial back-powering rigs, as well as digital auto-ranging multi-meters for the purpose of
confirming system voltage and resistance.
Requirements: Enrollment in the Technician Level 2 training course does not require that students purchase a
Bosch Crash Data Retrieval Tool. All airbag control modules and vehicles used during the course are provided by
Crash Data Services, LLC.
In order to receive certification as a Level 2 Crash Data Retrieval Technician, students must pass a physical
proficiency exam. The exam requires at least one successful download via the DLC, one download using an
adapter, one direct to airbag module download, and one back-powering download through the DLC. The exam is
based on the material presented throughout the in-class presentation, examples and reference materials and is
administered at the end of the class.
Prerequisites: To enroll in this training, students must first successfully complete the Technician Level 1 course
training.
