Freeze Frame Data

2008 Toyota Yaris S, 4D Sedan, AutomaticSECTION Freeze Frame Data
  1. FREEZE FRAME DATA 

    HINT:

    • Whenever a DTC is detected or the ABS operates, the skid control ECU stores the current vehicle (sensor) state as freeze frame data.
    • The skid control ECU stores the number of times (maximum: 31) the ignition switch has been turned from OFF to ON since the last time the ABS was activated. However, if the vehicle was stationary or running at a low speed (4.3 mph [7 km/h] or less), or if a DTC is detected, the skid control ECU stops counting.
    • Freeze frame data at the time the ABS operates: The skid control ECU stores and updates the data whenever the ABS system operates.

      When the ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, the data stored when the ABS operated is erased.

    • 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 are performed until the data is cleared.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. From the display on the tester, select "FREEZE FRAME DATA".
