FREEZE FRAME
Available for 1999 and newer vehicles only.
When an emission-related fault is detected, certain vehicle conditions at the
time fault(s) were set and are recorded by the PCM. This is referred to as a
Freeze Frame. The information is a "snapshot" of the engine operating
conditions at the time of a fault. This data can be overwritten by faults with a
higher priority.

OFF or Running. Select Freeze Frame
from the Chrysler Functions list and
press ENTER.
If no information for Freeze Frame(s) is
available, the scan tool will tell you.
If a Freeze Frame(s) is available, the
tool presents a menu of one or more
DTC's. Select a DTC to see the data
frame recorded at the time the DTC was
set and press ENTER.
The menu of Diagnostic Trouble Codes can be a combination of an SAE
code (5-digit) and/or a Chrysler MIL code (3-digit)
The tool displays the complete Freeze
Frame Data List for the selected DTC.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll
through the PIDs. The DTC that
triggered the freeze frame event is
shown on the first line.
Press the BACK key to return to the DTC Selection screen. Press FUNC to

RECORD DATA
The Record Data function records vehicle PID (Parameter Identification) data
while the vehicle is parked or being driven. This function is mainly used for
diagnosing intermittent driveability problems that cannot be isolated by any
other method.
The tool records data based on time (5 frames prior to the start of the recording,
and for a duration after). The time after depends on the vehicle data rate.
