Check of Freeze Frame Data




DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

CHECK OF FREEZE FRAME DATA

The freeze frame data can be checked by using the scan tool (How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction How to Cope With Intermittent Malfunctions).

When detecting fault and storing the DTC, the ECU connected to CAN bus line obtains the data before the determination of the DTC and the data when the DTC is determined, and then stores the ECU status of that time. By analyzing the data from scan tool, the troubleshooting can be performed more efficiently. The displayed items are as shown in the table below.

DISPLAY ITEM LIST





NOTE:

- *1: If a failure occurs to both the ASC-ECU and ETACS-ECU, 0000 mile or FFFF mile is displayed to the scan tool MB991958.
- *2: Total elapsed time can be stored up to 65,534 minutes (45.5 days). The display of scan tool is fixed to 65,534 minutes after 65,534 minutes have elapsed. Or, if the battery is disconnected, the total elapsed time cannot be measured properly. Thus, 65,535 minutes (null value) is displayed. Because it is calculated based on the ETACS-ECU information, the correct display may not be shown if the ETACS-ECU has had a time-out.
