4.8.2 Function Descriptions
This section describes the various functions of each diagnostic option:
DTC & FFD
When this function is selected, the screen displays a list of Stored Codes and
Pending Codes. When the Freeze Frame data of certain DTCs are available
for viewing, a snowake button will display on the right side of the DTC item.
The Erase Codes function can be applied by tapping the functional button at
the lower bottom of the screen.
Figure 4- 15 Sample DTC & FFD Screen
Stored Codes
Stored codes are the current emission related DTCs from the ECM of the
vehicle. OBD II/EOBD Codes have a priority according to their emission
severity, with higher priority codes overwriting lower priority codes. The
priority of the code determines the illumination of the MIL and the codes
erase procedure. Manufacturers rank codes dierently, so expect to see
dierences between makes.
Pending Codes
These are codes whose setting conditions were met during the last drive
cycle, but need to be met on two or more consecutive drive cycles before
the DTC actually sets. The intended use of this service is to assist the
service technician after a vehicle repair and after clearing diagnostic
information, by reporting test results after a driving cycle.
a) If a test failed during the driving cycle, the DTC associated with that
Diagnostics Operations Generic OBD II Operations
52
test is reported If the pending fault does not occur again within 40 .
to 80 warm-up cycles, the fault is automatically cleared from
memory.
b) Test results reported by this service do not necessarily indicate a
faulty component or system. If test results indicate another failure
after additional driving, then a DTC is set to indicate a faulty
component or system, and the MIL is illuminated.
Freeze Frame
In most cases the stored frame is the last DTC that occurred. Certain
DTCs, which have a greater impact on vehicle emission, have a higher
priority. In these cases, the top prioritized DTC is the one for which the
freeze frame records are retained. Freeze frame data includes a
“ ”snapshot of critical parameter values at the time the DTC is set.
Erase Codes
This option is used to clear all emission related diagnostic data such as,
DTCs, freeze frame data and manufacturer specic enhanced data from
the vehicle s ECM, and reset the I/M Readiness Monitor Status for all ’
vehicle monitors to Not Ready or Not Complete status.
A conrmation screen displays when the clear codes option is selected to
prevent accidental loss of data. Select Yes on the conrmation screen to
continue or to exit. No
I/M Readiness
This function is used to check the readiness of the monitoring system. It is an
excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance to
a state emissions program. Selecting I/M Readiness opens a submenu with
two choices:
Since DTCs Cleared displays the status of monitors since the last time –
the DTCs are erased.
This Driving Cycle displays the status of monitors since the beginning –
of the current drive cycle.
Live Data
