Vehicle Maintenance is a module available in the Summary menu where you can find information about the Service Requirements and the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) data collected from your vehicles:
To be able to access this module, you must be granted the following permission:
Once you access the module, you will see the following subpages:
Service Requirements
The default view is the Service Requirements page and on this table you'll see infomation about the service of your fleet.
It contains the following columns:
| Vehicle | License plate of the vehicle |
| Driver | Displays the name of the driver currently assigned to the vehicle. This helps you quickly identify who is operating each vehicle that has reported the service requirements data. |
| Odometer | The current Odometer's reading |
| Avg mileage/day | Average mileage per day |
| Service/mileage |
On general vehicles displays the value for the next vehicle maintenance (same value displayed on Intranet > CANBus data view > service column. For vehicles that support it, displays the lowest value of mileage for the next service (only using C4OBDV8 and it's vehicle dependent). |
| Service Type/mileage | Displays the type of the next service by mileage |
| Service/date | For vehicles that support it, displays the lowest value of date for the next service (only using Munic C4OBDV8 and it's vehicle dependent). |
| Service Type/mileage | Displays the type of the next service by date |
| Service expected date |
For vehicles that supply it, This field is the estimated date to the next maintenance. It's calculated as currentDate + serviceDate / avgKmsPerDay. Please note that this is vehicle dependent and we actually don't know what each vehicle is supplying. Please check the important note - service expected date for more detals. |
| Last Update | Displays the date of the last updated value received from Munic's Webhook (only using Munic C4OBDV8 and it's vehicle dependent). |
| Number of Active DTCs |
Displays the number of active DTCs on the vehicle. If your vehicle has Active DTCs if you click on the link, you'll be redirected to the DTCs details of your vehicle. |
If you click on the license plate link you'll be redirected to the Service Requirements details of the vehicle.
NOTE: Some vehicles may not report all these fields. Please check with your Frotcom Certified Partner. You can check the complete supported vehicle list here.
Important note - Service expected date:
The date presented in the Vehicle Maintenance > Service Requirements > Service expected date column is the closest date of all collected values.
By clicking on the license plate, you'll see the complete service requirement details:

About the DTCs
Interpreting the DTC Code
There is a defined logic behind the format of the DTC error codes:
- The first character is always a letter. It indicates which control system has an issue, and has the following possible values and meanings e.g. Powertrain (P), Network (U)
- The second character is a digit, typically 0 or 1, and shows whether or not the code is standardized or OEM-specific. e.g. Standard (0), OEM specific (1)
- The third character is also a digit, ranging from 1 to 8. This reveals the subsystem at fault. e.g. 1 refers to the fuel or air metering system, 2 refers to the fuel or air metering injection system
- The fourth and fifth characters are read together as a two-digit number between 0 and 99 known and is an index designed to better define the specific fault.
How critical is the code?
- There can be a lot of DTC codes generated and not all of them are important or critical.
- The more important codes should trigger a warning light on the vehicle dashboard and drivers should report these to the fleet manager so the fleet manager can provide guidance on the appropriate course of action based on the DTC code.
Acting on the DTC Code:
- The DTC code will identify the area of the problem. However, engineers are still encouraged to think like detectives before jumping to a conclusion about a repair based on the DTC code.
