DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
When troubleshooting On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) vehicles, the vehicle must be connected to the OBD II
scan tool (complying with SAE J1987). Various data output from the vehicle's ECM can then be read.
OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-board computer illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) on the instrument panel when the computer detects a malfunction in:
1. The emission control s
ystem/components
TerminalSP2+ - SP2-
Tool setting2V/DIV, 20ms/DIV
Vehicle conditionVehicle speed 20 km/h (12 mph)
Page 2710 of 4500
2. The powertrain control components (which affect vehicle emissions)
3. The computer.
In addition, the applicable Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the
ECM memory. If the malfunction does not reoccur in 3 consecutive trips, the MIL turns off automatically but
the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM memory.

To check DTCs, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. The scan tool
displays DTCs, the freeze frame data and a variety of the engine data.

The DTCs and freeze frame data can be erased with the scan tool (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR).

NORMAL MODE AND CHECK MODE
The diagnosis system operates in "normal mode" during normal vehicle use. In normal mode, "2-trip detection
logic" is used to ensure accurate detection of malfunctions. "Check mode" is also available to technicians as an
option. In check mode, "1-trip detection logic" is used for simulating malfunction symptoms and increasing the
system's ability to detect malfunctions, including intermittent malfunctions.
2-TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory (1st trip). If the

FREEZE FRAME DATA
Freeze frame data records the engine conditions (fuel system, calculated load, engine coolant temperature, fuel
trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame
data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air/fuel
ratio was Lean or Rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
The hand-held tester records freeze frame data in five different instances: 1) 3 times before the DTC is set, 2)
once when the DTC is set, and 3) once after the DTC is set. These data can be used to simulate the vehicle's
condition around the time when the malfunction occurred. The data may help find the cause of the malfunction,
or
judge if the DTC is being caused by a temporary malfunction or not.
