The manufacturer specific freeze frame data is DTC snapshot data that allows a manufacturer to store vehicle condition information when a DTC sets. This is similar to the OBDII freeze frame functionality that already exists in the PCM. The manufacturer defines the snapshot data to provide the conditions at the time when a fault occurred. Each snapshot is about 40 - 50 PIDs with up to 5 snapshots available for up to 5 different DTCs. The PCM reports the most recent fault conditions for the DTC, and refreshes a maximum of once per operation cycle.
