CHECK OF FREEZE FRAME DATA
To detect fault and set the DTC, the ETACS-ECU obtains data before the confirmation of the DTC and data when the DTC is confirmed, and then stores the current condition of the ETACS-ECU. By analyzing each data from scan tool (M.U.T.-III), the troubleshooting can be performed more efficiently. Display items of the freeze frame data are as follows.
