WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Connect the M-MDS (IDS) to the DLC-2.

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.
Snap shot data
- The snap shot data stores the currently detected DTC data.
- Recorded DTC timing
- For DTCs with one drive cycle, data is recorded during the malfunction determination period.
- For DTCs with two drive cycles, data is recorded during both non-determination (1st diagnosis) and malfunction determination (2nd diagnosis) periods.
