Check Of Freeze Frame Data

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander LS, FWDSECTION Check Of Freeze Frame Data

The freeze frame data can be checked by using the scan tool ( HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION ).

When detecting fault and storing the DTC, the ECU connected to CAN bus line obtains the data before the determination of the DTC and the data when the DTC is determined, and then stores the ECU status of that time. By analyzing the data from scan tool, the troubleshooting can be performed more efficiently. The displayed items are as shown in the table below.

DISPLAY ITEM LIST

Item No. Item name Data item Unit
01 Odometer Total driving distance after the diagnostic trouble code is generated km(1)
02 Ignition cycle Number of times the ignition switch is turned "ON" or "LOCK (OFF)" after the past failure transition Number of counts is displayed.
03 Elapsed time after failure Total elapsed time after a diagnostic trouble code is generated min(2)
04 Current trouble accumulative time Cumulative time for current malfunction of diagnostic trouble code min
NOTE:
(1) If a failure occurs to both the ABS-ECU and ETACS-ECU, 0000 km or FFFF km is displayed to the scan tool MB991958.
(2) Total elapsed time can be stored up to 65,534 minutes (45.5 days). The display of scan tool is fixed to 65,534 minutes after 65,534 minutes have elapsed. Or, if the battery is disconnected, the total elapsed time cannot be measured properly. Thus, 65,535 minutes (null value) is displayed. Because it is calculated based on the ETACS-ECU information, the correct display may not be shown if the ETACS-ECU has had a timeout.
