View Freeze Frame Data

Freeze Frame Data allows the technician to view the vehicle’s operating

parameters at the moment a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) is detected.

For example, the parameters may include engine speed (RPM), engine

coolant temperature (ECT), or vehicle speed sensor (VSS). This information

will aid the technician by allowing the parameters to be duplicated for

diagnostic and repair purposes.

1) To view freeze frame data, use the UP/DOWN scroll button to select

View Freeze Frame from Diagnostic Menu and press the OK button.

2) Wait while the scan tool validates the PID MAP.

3) If retrieved information displays on more than one screen, use the

DOWN scroll button, as necessary, until all the data has displayed.
