Reading DTCs Procedure: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Connect the M-MDS(IDS) to the DLC-2.

Fig 1: Identifying DLC-2 Location
After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the IDS.
1. Select "Self Test".
2. Select "Modules".
3. Select "TCM".
NOTE:
- Freeze frame data/snapshot data appears at the top of the help screen when the displayed DTC is selected.
  Freeze frame data
  - The freeze frame data consists of data for vehicle and transaxle control system operation conditions when malfunctions in the transaxle control system are detected and stored in the TCM.
  - Freeze frame data is stored at the instant the malfunction indicator lamp illuminates, and only a part of the DTC data is stored.
  Snapshot data
  - The snap shot data stores the currently detected DTC data.
  - The recording timing for the freeze frame data/snap shot data differs depending on the number of DTC drive cycles.
    
    For a DTC with a drive cycle number 1, only the malfunction determination data is recorded.
    
    For a DTC with a drive cycle number 2, both the malfunction determination and undetermined data is recorded.
