Freeze Frame Data





BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: FREEZE FRAME DATA

1. FREEZE FRAME DATA

(a) Whenever a DTC is stored, the skid control ECU stores the current vehicle (sensor) state as freeze frame data.

(b) The skid control ECU stores the number of times (maximum: 31) the engine switch has been turned from off to on (IG) since the last time the ABS/VSC was activated.

HINT
* If the vehicle is stopped or at a low speed (7 km/h (4 mph) or less), or if a DTC is stored, the skid control ECU will stop counting the number of times the engine switch has been turned from off to on (IG).
* Freeze frame data at the time the ABS/VSC operates:
The skid control ECU stores and updates data whenever the ABS/VSC operates.
When the ECU stores data at the time a DTC is stored, the data stored during ABS/VSC operation is cleared.
* Freeze frame data at the time a DTC is stored:
When the skid control ECU stores data at the time a DTC is stored, no updates will be performed until the data is cleared.
