Duplicating Failure Conditions

Freeze frame and failure records data contain the conditions present when DTC set. Review and record freeze frame and failure records data. Clear DTCs using scan tool. Turn ignition off and wait 15 seconds. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions noted in freeze frame and failure records data, as closely as possible. Vehicle must also be operating within code enable criteria. See appropriate DTC test description. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate RAN, when the enabling conditions have been satisfied long enough for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed. An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DVOM connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal reading on the DVOM when the problem occurs, may help you locate the problem.
