Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Freeze Frame Data
The vehicle (sensor) status at time of malfunction, and during ABS operation can be memorized and displayed using hand-held tester. Only one record of freeze frame data is stored. However, freeze frame data during ABS operation is constantly updated. After storage of freeze frame data, up to 31 ignition ON operations are stored and displayed. If ignition switch ON operation exceeds 31 times, "31" appears on the display. See Fig 1.
