7.4.�.2  Reading Freeze Frame

In the engine management system, the freeze frame 
function is supplementary to the fault code function.

ditions of engine when engine fault arises, helping the 
service personnel know the working conditions of the 
whole vehicle upon the fault occurrence.

Operation Steps:

Information” to proceed to the corresponding inter-
face. Each freeze frame can display a maximum of 5 
groups of data;

2. 

Click the “Exit” button to quit this function.

 

i

You may also proceed to this function through the 
“Read Freeze Frame” button at the diagnosis func-
tion area, but then only the freeze frames for com-
mon data streams can be read and generally only 
one group of data will be displayed.

�learing DT�

It is used to clear the DTC saved in the ECU memory of 
the system being tested.

Operation Steps:

1. 

After proceeding to the diagnosis function, click 
“Clear Fault Code” to get the dialogue box, which 
displays the clearing conditions.

2. 

After the completion of fault code clearing, the inter-
face will display “Clearing Command Executed”;

3.

i

For the common vehicle models, you shall strictly 
comply with the following regular work procedures: 
firstly, read, record (or print) and clear the fault 
codes; then, test the vehicle, and re-read the fault 
codes for verification; next, service the vehicle and 
clear the fault codes; finally, re-test the vehicle and 
confirm that the fault codes are no longer present;

 

i

It is impossible to immediately clear any current hard 
fault code. Although such technical fault codes invol-
ving oxygen sensor, knock sensor, mixture correction 
and cylinder misfire can be immediately cleared, 
they would reappear within a certain period. Only 
after the fault has been completely eliminated will a 
fault code never reappear.
