Some unique PIDs are stored in the Keep Alive Memory of the (KAM) of the PCM to help in diagnosing the root cause of misfires. These PIDs are collectively called misfire freeze-frame (MFF) data. These parameters are separate from the generic freeze-frame data that is stored for every MIL code. They are used for misfire diagnosis only. The MFF data could be more useful for misfire diagnosis than the generic freeze frame data. It is captured at the time of the highest misfire rate, and not when the DTC is stored at the end of a 1,000 or 200 revolution block. (Generic freeze-frame data for misfire can be stored minutes after the misfire actually occurred).
- MFF PIDs are supported on all vehicles but may not be available on all scan tools because enhanced PID access may vary by scan tool manufacturer.

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.
