Function Code FE: Mode (Freeze Frame Data)





FE MODE (FREEZE FRAME DATA)

NOTE:
- Data stored at the time of trouble occurrence is shown on display.
- Each time trouble occurs, the latest information is stored in the freeze frame data in memory.

1) When a trouble code is not stored in memory, activating the FE mode causes the initial value to appear on the select monitor display.
- FE1 - 4: 159 mph.
- FE5 - 8: 255 km/h.
- FE13: 16.84 Volts.
- FE14: 5.00 Volts.
- FE15: The MM, B1 and A0 LEDs are on. The AT and CM LEDs are out.
- FE16: NO HISTORY OF OCCURRED.





2) If freeze frame data is not properly stored in memory (due to a drop in ABS Control Module (ABSCM) power supply, etc.), a trouble code, preceded by a question mark "?", appears on the select monitor display. This shows it may be an unreliable reading.





3) When a trouble code is detected in the FE mode, a question mark "?" appears continuously on the select monitor display until the freeze frame data is stored in memory.
