  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FREEZE FRAME DATA) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
    3. Using the Techstream, confirm the vehicle conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the DTC was stored.

      Refer to FREEZE FRAME DATA [11/2015 - 11/2016]

      Freeze Frame Data Items for DTC P219A, P219B, P219C, P219D, P219E, P219F, P21A0 or P21A1: 

      • Vehicle Speed
      • Engine Speed
      • Calculate Load
      • Accelerator Idle Position
      • Short FT
      • Long FT
      • Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #6 Misfire Count

      HINT: 

      When the sum of Short FT and Long FT is positive, the engine is running lean, and when the sum is negative, the engine is running rich.

      Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Monitoring Method (P219A and P219B) Crankshaft Position Sensor Monitoring Method (P219C, P219D, P219E, P219F, P21A0 and P21A1) Note
      DTCs are output DTC is output (Only one DTC relating to a single cylinder is output) Malfunctioning of cylinders detected by Crankshaft Position Sensor Monitoring Method is primarily suspected
      DTCs are output DTCs are output (Multiple DTCs relating to multiple cylinders are output) Malfunctioning of cylinders except ones detected by Crankshaft Position Sensor Monitoring Method is primarily suspected.*
      DTCs are not output DTCs are output Malfunctioning of cylinders detected by Crankshaft Position Sensor Monitoring Method is primarily suspected.
      DTCs are output DTCs are not output Malfunctioning of the bank detected by Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Monitoring Method is primarily suspected.
      *: When any air-fuel ratio imbalance is detected, the ECM will perform air-fuel ratio feedback control to make the air-fuel ratio close to the stoichiometric level. This may result in an air-fuel ratio imbalance of normal cylinders and DTCs may be stored.
