Freeze Frame

NOTE: Freeze frame may also be referred to as snapshot.

PCM stores one freeze frame for the first failed test that sets a type "A" DTC. PCM stores one freeze frame for the second failed test that sets a type "B" DTC. Recorded freeze frame data can be retrieved using a Tech 2 scan tool and selecting POWERTRAIN, DTC and CAPTURE INFO.

Most scan tools can manually record freeze frame data by technician specified triggering points. Triggering points can include a manual trigger, trigger when any DTC sets, or trigger when a specific DTC sets. See scan tool manufacturer's instructions for specific operating information.
