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

Freeze Frame Data: Description

The freeze frame data records the engine condition (fuel system, calculated load, engine coolant temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) when malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was LEAN or RICH and other data. at the time of the malfunction occurred.

HINT:

If it is impossible to replicate the problem even though a DTC is detected, confirm the freeze frame data.

List of freeze frame data 

FREEZE FRAME DATA LIST

LABEL

Measure Item/Range Diagnostic Note
CALC LOAD Calculate load Calculated load by ECM
COOLANT TEMP Engine coolant temperature If the value is -40°C, sensor circuit is open
If the value is 140°C, sensor circuit is shorted
SHORT FT #1 Short-term fuel trim Short-term fuel compensation used to maintain the air-fuel ratio at stoichiometric air-fuel ratio
LONG FT #1 Long-term fuel trim Overall fuel compensation carried out in long-term to compensate a continual deviation of the short-term fuel trim from the central valve
ENGINE SPD Engine speed -
VEHICLE SPD Vehicle speed Speed indicated on speedometer
IGN ADVANCE Ignition advance -
INTAKE AIR Intake air temperature If the value is -40°C, sensor circuit is open
If the value is 140°C, sensor circuit is shorted
MAF Mass air flow volume If the value is approximately 0.0 g/sec.:
  • Mass air flow meter power source circuit
