Freeze Frame Data

ECM records the engine status at detection when it detects DTCs. (Freeze frame data)

Freeze frame data is recorded on up to a second detected DTC, and not recorded on a third detected DTC and later.

NOTE:
  • As the freeze frame data is recorded with DTC detected, permanent monitoring cannot be performed.
  • For the first detected DTC, time series freeze frame data is recorded. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>Freeze Frame Data>NOTE>TIME SERIES FREEZE FRAME DATA .
  • When performing diagnosis, you can utilize the freeze frame data to guess the vehicle status when the DTC was detected.
  • For detailed operation procedures, refer to "Common (Diagnostics)". Ref. to COMMON (diag)>FREEZE FRAME DATA .
