Freeze Frame/Failure Records
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003 GMC Envoy XL, 2003 GMC Envoy, and 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
PCM stores one freeze frame record (failure record "0") for the first failed test that sets a DTC and illuminates MIL. Freeze frame will not be overwritten unless a misfire or fuel trim DTC is set. Failure records are stored when any DTC is set. Six additional failure records can be stored in PCM. Failure records will be stored for all types of codes, whether or not the MIL is illuminated. If more than 6 DTCs are set, oldest DTC is deleted as newest DTC is stored. Typical failure record data includes:
- Air/fuel ratio.
- Airflow rate.
- Fuel trim.
- Engine speed.
- Engine load.
- Engine coolant temperature.
- Vehicle speed.
- Throttle position angle.
- Manifold absolute pressure.
- Injector base pulse width.
- Loop status.
