Reading DTCs Procedure
- Connect the M-MDS (IDS) to the DLC-2.
- After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the IDS.
- Select "Self Test".
- Select "Modules".
- Select "TCM".
NOTE:
- Freeze frame data/snapshot data appears at the top of the help screen when the displayed DTC is selected.
Freeze frame data
- The freeze frame data consists of data for vehicle and transaxle control system operation conditions when malfunctions in the transaxle control system are detected and stored in the TCM.
- Freeze frame data is stored at the instant the malfunction indicator lamp illuminates, and only a part of the DTC data is stored.
Snap shot data
- The snap shot data stores the currently detected DTC data.
- Recorded DTC timing
- For DTCs with one drive cycle, data is recorded during the malfunction determination period.
- For DTCs with two drive cycles, data is recorded during both non-determination (1st diagnosis) and malfunction determination (2nd diagnosis) periods.
