Freeze Frame Data

2010 Lexus RX 450h 3.5 BSECTION Freeze Frame Data
  1. FREEZE FRAME DATA/INFORMATION 
    1. Whenever an ABS, VSC, electronically controlled brake system DTC is detected, the skid control ECU stores the current vehicle (sensor) state as Freeze Frame Data.
    2. The skid control ECU stores the number of times (maximum: 31) the power switch has been turned from off to on (IG) since the last time the ABS was activated.
    3. For DTCs stored in the skid control ECU, information (INF) codes that are contained in the Freeze Frame Data can be displayed on the Techstream.

      HINT: 

      • However, if the vehicle is stopped or at a low speed (7 km/h (4.3 mph) or less), or if a DTC is detected, the skid control ECU will stop counting the number of times the power switch had been turned from off to on (IG).
      • Freeze Frame Data at the time the ABS operates:

        The skid control ECU stores and updates data whenever the ABS system operates.

        When the ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, the data stored during ABS operation is cleared.

      • Freeze Frame Data at the time a DTC is detected:

        When the skid control ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, no updates will be performed until the data is cleared.

  2. CHECK FREEZE FRAME DATA AND INFORMATION 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Trouble Codes.
    5. According to the display on the Techstream, select the trouble code data display with Freeze Frame Data.
    6. Read the Freeze Frame Data recorded when the DTC was set.
    7. Read the information.
      1. Select the item that has an information (INF) code from the Freeze Frame Data screen.

  3. CLEAR FREEZE FRAME DATA AND INFORMATION 
    NOTE:

    Clearing the DTCs will also clear the Freeze Frame Data and information (INF) codes.

    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Clear the DTCs and Freeze Frame Data. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
