Capturing DTC Info (Capture Info) 1

Selecting this option on the scan tool allows the technician to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records that may be stored in the PCM memory. Capture the DTC info before beginning a diagnosis. This is a step in the OBD System Check. At the end of the diagnostic tables, you are instructed to clear the DTCs, verify that the repair was successful, and then to review the captured information. The captured information will contain any additional DTCs and the related data that was stored originally if multiple DTCs were stored.
