NOTE:

Freeze Frame (Powertrain DTC A/B Type)

Freeze Frame is an element of the Diagnostic Manage-
ment System which stores various vehicle information at
the moment an emission-related fault is stored in memory
and when the MIL is commanded on. These data can help
to identity the cause of a fault. Refer to

Storing And Eras-

ing Freeze Frame Data for more detailed information.

Failure Records (Powertrain DTC C/D Type)

Failure Records data is an enhancement of the OBD II
Freeze Frame feature. Failure Records store the same
vehicle information as does Freeze Frame, but it will store
that information for any fault which is stored in on- board
memory, while Freeze Frame sotres information only for
emission-related faults that commands the MIL on.
