Freeze Frame Data

FREEZE FRAME DATA

HINT:
- Whenever 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 (maximum: 31) the ignition switch has been turned from off to the ON position since the last time the ABS was activated. However, if the vehicle was stopped or at a low speed (4.3 mph (7 km/h) or less), or if a DTC is detected, the skid control ECU will not count the number since then.
- Freeze frame data at the time the ABS operates:
The skid control ECU stores and updates data whenever the ABS system operates. When the ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, the data stored when the ABS operated is erased.
- Freeze frame data at the time a DTC is detected:
When the skid control ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, no updates will be performed until the data is cleared.
