• -DTC that belongs to freeze frame
• -Freeze frame data
• -Monitor status
• -Test results of specific diagnostic functions
• -Distance driven with MIL on
• -Number of warm-up cycles after erasing the DTC memory
• -Distance driven after erasing the DTC memory
• -Time with MIL on
• -Time since DTCs erased
• -Misfire counter
