Using FREEZE FRAME/FAILURE RECORDS data may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate DTC, information included in FREEZE FRAME/FAILURE RECORDS data can aid in determining how many miles since DTC set. FAIL COUNTER and PASS COUNTER can also aid in determining how many ignition cycles diagnostic reported a pass or a fail. Operate vehicle within same freeze frame conditions, such as RPM, load, vehicle speed, temperature etc., that you observed. This will isolate when DTC failed.
If an intermittent is suspected, see INTERMITTENT TROUBLE CODE DETERMINATION under ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
