If Hum sends a Vehicle Diagnostics alert, it is typically accompanied by a description of the applicable Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to help you understand what the problem may be.

Additionally, as a Hum subscriber, you can call the Mechanics Hotline for advice from an ASE-certified mechanic. Press the blue customer service button on the Hum Speaker or call (800) 711-5800 and ask to be connected to the Mechanics Hotline.

You can view diagnostic information about your vehicle, along with descriptions of most DTCs, in the Auto Health section of your Hum App or Hum Web Portal. Hum is constantly updating its DTC database to ensure the data is as current as possible. Notifications of DTCs are sent to you via text message and/or email. You can change your preferences in the Notifications section on your Hum App or Hum Web Portal.

In most cases, Hum is able to detect a crash based on the amount and direction of impact and sudden changes in vehicle speed.

If the crash is detected and you have a Hum Speaker, you will be connected with the Hum Emergency Response Center via the speaker. A trained agent will help determine what kind of assistance, if any, you need. If a crash is confirmed or if there is no response from the driver, Hum will still send help to your location.

If the crash is detected and you don’t have a Hum Speaker, Hum will attempt to bridge a call between the Primary Driver Contact and emergency services, who will ask if you’re OK and if you need emergency help. Agents can stay on the line with you until help arrives or until you feel safe. Help can be dispatched even if there is no response from the driver. IMPORTANT: In order to be eligible for Crash Response, you must provide a Primary Driver Contact.

Please note: If the Hum OBD Reader has become dislodged from the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD-II) port during the incident, causing a loss of power, the Emergency Response Center cannot be notified.

When factors such as sudden changes in speed or direction are detected by your Hum OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) Reader, the incident registers as a collision, and the Hum Emergency Response Center is notified. If you do not have a Hum Speaker, help will automatically be dispatched to your vehicle’s location.

If an accident is confirmed or if there is no response from the driver, Hum will still send help to your location.

If Hum did not detect a collision, it could be because the impact was too minor to be recognized by the Hum OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) Reader. It could also be due to the Hum OBD Reader becoming dislodged from the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD-II) system during the incident, causing a loss of power to the Hum OBD Reader.
