Freeze Frame Data

  1. FREEZE FRAME DATA 

    HINT:

    • When a DTC is detected or the ABS operates, the skid control ECU stores the current vehicle (sensor) state as freeze frame data.
    • The skid control ECU stores the number of times the ignition switch has been turned from OFF to ON (maximum: 31) since the last time the ABS was activated. However, if the vehicle is stopped, the vehicle is driven at 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or less, or a DTC is detected, the ECU will not count the next time the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON.
    • Freeze frame data at the time the ABS operates:

      The skid control ECU stores data or updates stored data when the ABS operates. This data is erased when the ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected.

    • Freeze frame data at the time a DTC is detected:

      When the skid control ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, the data will not be updated until the data is cleared.

    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
