1996 Cadillac Seville SLSFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

PZM Snapshot

Selection of SNAPSHOT test type will allow the recall of all "DATA" and "INPUT" values for the selected system from specific point in time. These values may be retrieved for either a snapshot that was manually triggered or, if the selected system allows, a snapshot from the setting of last PZM trouble code.

Snapshot may be selected by pressing HI button on CCP. If snapshot for a set PZM trouble code is present, display will read "PXXX" (XXX being 3-digit code) when snapshot is first selected. Snapshot can be by-passed by pressing LO button. This selection process may continue until all stored PZM codes with snapshot information are displayed. At this point, the manual snapshot display "TAKE SNAPSHOT?" will appear. Pressing LO button will return system to start of snapshot process, if desired.

If no stored PZM codes are available or all stored codes with snapshot information are by-passed, display will read "TAKE SNAPSHOT?". A manually triggered snapshot may be taken at this point by pressing the HI button. Display will read "SNAPSHOT TAKEN" and will change to "SNAP DATA?" within several seconds.
