2.3.6 View Freeze Data

When an emission-related fault occurs, certain vehicle conditions are recorded by the

on-board computer. This information is referred to as a Freeze Frame data. The information

is a “snapshot” of operating conditions at time of a fault. This data can be overwritten by

faults with a higher priority.

NOTE: If codes were erased, then freeze frame data may not be stored in vehicle memory.

Select View Freeze Data from the OBDII Function

List and press ENTER.

The scan tool links to the vehicle and displays

Freeze Frame data. Use UP/DOWN arrow keys

to scroll through data.

NOTE: If more than one computer module responds

with freeze frame data, then the frame

number and module display on the first line.

Press the LEFT/Right key to change modules.

When done, press BACK key to return to OBDII Function List.

2.3.7 O2 Monitor Test

NOTE: The O2 Monitor Test is NOT AN ON-DEMAND TEST. O2 sensors are NOT tested

when selected via the menu. The O2 sensors are tested when engine operating

conditions are within specified limits.

NOTE: If vehicle communicates using a Controller Area Network (CAN), O2 Monitor Tests

are NOT supported by vehicle. A message is displayed. See Diagnostic Monitor

Test to see O2 Monitor Data.

OBD II regulations require that applicable vehicles monitor and test the oxygen (O2)

sensors to determine problems related to fuel and emissions. The O2 Monitor Test

allows retrieval of completed O2 sensors monitor test results.
O2 sensors are located before (upstream) and after (downstream) catalyst(s). The

sensors are named (xy) for their position relative to both cylinder banks and catalysts.

• The O2 sensor for cylinder bank 1 has the prefix 1y while the O2 sensor for

cylinder bank 2 has the prefix 2y.

• The O2 sensor upstream of the catalyst (closest to the engine) has the suffix x1

while the O2 sensor downstream of the catalyst has suffix x2. If vehicle contains

more catalysts, the O2 sensor downstream of the second catalyst has the suffix

x3 and the O2 sensor downstream of the next catalyst has the suffix x4.

• For example, O2S 21 is the upstream O2 sensor for cylinder bank 2.
