Abstract
A vehicle data storage system in communication with a diagnostic unit provides a “quick fault” screen which summarizes event data stored within a storage device of the vehicle data storage system. The “quick fault” screen displays a plurality of keys organized in matrix format to display an overview of fault conditions through animation and/or coloring of each key in response to the event data stored within the storage device. By selecting any animated/colored key, a more detailed representation of the event data stored in the storage device for the particular fault condition is presented. The detailed subsystem screen presents the event data recorded within the storage device in a graphical and/or tabulation format showing associate subsytem parameters over time.
