In order to enhance OBD function on vehicles and
develop the Off-Board diagnosis system, CAN
communication is introduced in this system (CAN:
Controller Area Network). It minimizes a gap
between technician skills and vehicle technology.
CAN is a network, which uses a pair of data
transmission lines, spanning multiple computers
and sensors. It allows a high speed communication
between the systems and to simplify the wire
harness connection.
Since this system is equipped with the CAN
communication, connecting the CAN VIM (VIM:
Vehicle Interface Module) with an intelligent tester is
necessary to display any information from the ECM.
(Also the communication between the intelligent
tester and the ECM uses CAN communication
signal.) When confirming the DTCs and any data of
the ECM, connect the CAN VIM between the DLC3
and the intelligent tester.
2. NORMAL MODE AND CHECK MODE
(a) 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 as an
option for technicians. In check mode, 1 trip
detection logic is used for simulating malfunction
symptoms and increasing the system's ability to
detect malfunctions, including intermittent problems
(intelligent tester only) (See page ES-43).
3. 2 TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
(a) When a malfunction is first detected, the
malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM
memory (1st trip). If the same malfunction is
detected during the next subsequent drive cycle, the
MIL is illuminated (2nd trip).
4. FREEZE FRAME DATA
(a) The ECM records vehicle and driving condition
information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC
is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data
can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle
was running or stopped, whether the engine was
warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was
lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the
time of a malfunction.

FREEZE FRAME DATA
1. DESCRIPTION
(a) The ECM records vehicle and driving condition
information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC
is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data
can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle
was running or stopped, whether the engine was
warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was
lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the
time of a malfunction.
HINT:
If it is impossible to duplicate the problem even
though a DTC is detected, confirm the freeze frame
data.
(b) The ECM records engine conditions in the form of
freeze frame data every 0.5 seconds. Using the
intelligent tester, five separate sets of freeze frame
data, including the data values at the time when the
DTC was set, can be checked.
• 3 data sets before the DTC was set
• 1 data set when the DTC was set
• 1 data set after the DTC was set
These data sets can be used to simulate the
condition of the vehicle around the time of the
occurrence of the malfunction. The data may assist
in identifying of the cause of the malfunction, and in
judging whether it was temporary or not.
