Innova 5210: Freeze Frame
Freeze Frame
In OBD2 systems, when an emissions-related engine malfunction occurs that causes a DTC to set, a record or snapshot of engine conditions at the time that the malfunction occurred is also saved in the vehicle’s computer memory. The record saved is called Freeze Frame data. Saved engine conditions include, but are not limited to: engine speed, open or closed loop operation, fuel system commands, coolant temperature, calculated load value, fuel pressure, vehicle speed, air flow rate, intake manifold pressure, and more.
Step 1 - Press FF/DTC to view Freeze Frame data.

Freeze Frame data will display after DTC #1 Press FF/DTC to view Freeze Frame data. |

Press UP ▲ and DOWN ▼ to scroll through the available PIDs. Press and hold ENTER ↵ to view the PID name. |
NOTE: The 5210 reads freeze frame data immediately after a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored and a Check Engine Light (CEL) is triggered. The vehicle's computer (ECU) captures a snapshot of sensor values at that exact millisecond, and you can plug in your 5210 anytime afterward to view it.
Step 2 - How to view full PID name.

The full description for the PID will display. Press ENTER ↵ to go back. |
NOTE: If more than one malfunction is present that causes more than one DTC to be set, only the code with the highest priority will contain Freeze Frame data. The code designated “01” on the 5210 display is referred to as the PRIORITY code, and Freeze Frame data always refers to this code. The priority code is also the one that has commanded the Malfunction Indicator Light (Check Engine Light) on.
