Abstract
Data elements are identified, from a diagnostic request received from a remote server, to collect from controllers of the vehicle. The data elements are captured for inclusion in a diagnostic data message, responsive to receipt of the diagnostic request to allow the data elements to be collected without approval of the diagnostic request. The data elements are stored to the data storage. The remote server is queried for an approval status of the diagnostic request. Responsive to the approval status specifying that the diagnostic request is approved, the diagnostic data message is sent to the server. Responsive to the approval status failing to specify within a predefined time period that the diagnostic request is approved, the data elements are discarded from the data storage to maintain data privacy for the diagnostic request upon condition that the diagnostic request is not approved.
