April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

Circuit description

After engine startup, if the engine stops due to any other cause than the ignition switch operation, the DTC is output. The conditions at the time the DTC was output can be checked from the freeze frame data using the SSM3. A part of the engine running conditions under which the engine trouble occurred is recorded in the freeze frame data, which is useful for troubleshooting.

It is necessary to check the fuel level before troubleshooting because engine stall due to running out of gas can also be detected.
