Freeze-Frame Data

OBD-II or Toyota scan tool can by used to check freeze-frame data. The ECM records engine operating condition when a misfire, fuel trim (mixture) malfunction or other malfunction (fuel system, calculated load, coolant temperature, fuel trim (mixture), engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) exists. If more than one fault is detected, only data from the first malfunction is recorded. Recorded data is useful for determining conditions in which the malfunction occurs.
