Freeze Frame Data

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lexus IS 300, 2003 Lexus IS 300, and 2002 Lexus IS 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The vehicle (sensor) status memorized during the ABS and/or VSC operation or at the time of error code detection can be displayed using the hand-held tester. Only one record of freeze frame data is stored. However, freeze frame data during the ABS operation is always updated. After storage of freeze frame data, up to 31 ignition "ON" operations are stored and displayed. If the ignition switch "ON" operation exceeds 31 times, "31" appears on the display. If the diagnosis code abnormality occurs, the freeze frame data at the occurrence of the abnormality is stored but the ABS actuation data is deleted. If no conditions are specifically stated for "Idling", it means the shift lever is at N or P position, the A/C switch is OFF and all accessory switches are OFF. See Fig 1.
