An apparatus to visually check coolant corrosiveness having first and second opposing ends in spaced apart relation to each other, and a sidewall extending substantially unbroken therebetween to define a hollow body; a non corrodible coolant barrier at said first end occluding said first end and forming a water tight seal over said first end; said non corrodible barrier having a transparency in at least a portion of said barrier; a corrodible coolant barrier at said second end occluding said second end and forming a water tight seal over said second end; whereby changes in coolant pH render the coolant corrosive, which corrodes the coolant corrodible barrier, thereby allowing coolant into said hollow body to be seen through said transparency in said first end.

Apparatus for detecting coolant corrosiveness

A method of operating an electronic control module disposed on a vehicle and operative to record in a memory a plurality of data items among a plurality of pages, and a computer program for execution by the electronic control module are disclosed. The plurality of data items include at least one event item and at least one accumulation item for the vehicle. In operation, recording of the at least one event item is disabled in a selected page of a plurality of pages in response to receiving a stop recording page signal associated with the selected page. All event items and all accumulation items for the selected page are then erased to eliminate historical data. Subsequent accumulation items may then be recorded in the selected page. Synchronization of the accumulation items and event items is re-established by erasing all historical accumulation items from the selected page when the selected page recording is reenabled.
