Freeze Frame Data: Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Subaru WRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • For detailed operation procedures, refer to "COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)". Ref. to  COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>FREEZE FRAME DATA 
  • For details on freeze frame data, refer to the list. Ref. to  AIR CONDITIONER (DIAGNOSTICS)>FREEZE FRAME DATA>LIST  
  • FFD is not cleared even if the battery is removed. (It is saved in the non-volatile memory of the microcomputer and read when cold start is performed.) 
  • Up to 86 freeze frame data are recorded. (The number of data to be saved varies depending on vehicle information (DUAL/SINGLE, variable/fixed COMP, with/without Auto Start Stop, with/without humidity sensor, with/without seat heater).) 
  • Freeze frame data is stored for 2 DTCs. Freeze frame data for the third DTC is not recorded. 
    • When recording the first DTC 

      Three sheets of time series FFD and one sheet of FFD at failure detection are recorded. 

    • When recording the second DTC 

      One sheet of FFD at failure detection is recorded. 

  • As DTC B14A1 becomes a current code when not exposed to sunlight even if there is no failure, the history code and FFD are not saved.
