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.-IIISE), the troubleshooting can be performed more efficiently. Display items of the freeze frame data are as follows.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE
All kinds of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) can be monitored by carrying out a short drive according to the following 5 drive cycle patterns. In other words, doing such a drive regenerates any kind of trouble which involves illuminating the Malfunction Indicator light (SERVICE ENGINE SOON or Check Engine light) and verifies the repair procedure has been eliminated [the trouble the Malfunction Indicator light (SERVICE ENGINE SOON or Check Engine light) is no longer illuminated].
cautionTwo technicians should always be in the vehicle when carrying out a test.
noteCheck that the diagnosis trouble code (DTC) is not set before driving the OBD-II drive cycle. Erase the DTC if it has been set.
