XI. AUTOMOBILE ON-BOARD COMPUTERS AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES The following section provides information on 1. OBD II 2. Automobile on-board computers 3. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) 4. Freeze Frame Data 5. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) 6. Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Readiness Monitors 1.0 OBD II Federal law required all vehicle manufacturers to meet On Board Diagnostics, Second Generation or OBD II standards by 1996.
PAGE 15
5.0 Diagnostic Trouble Codes or DTCs In the past malfunction code numbers varied between manufacturers, years, makes and models. OBD II requires that all vehicle manufacturers use a common Diagnostic Trouble Code or DTC numbering System. There is a generic DTC listing that all manufacturers must use. Since the generic listing was not specific enough, most manufacturers came up with their own DTC listing, which are called manufacturer specific codes. Both generic and manufacturer specific codes are 5 digits.

6.0 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) The Trouble Codes Screen displays the vehicle’s MIL Status, DTC Count, Stored DTCs and Pending DTCs. What is a DTC? Automobile on-board computers have a built in self testing system called self-diagnosis which means the on-board computer will monitor many or all of the vehicle’s sensors and controlled devices for proper operation. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is detected and set when one of the monitored devices is not functioning properly.
PAGE 20
7.0 Freeze Frame The Freeze Frame Data Screen displays the vehicle’s freeze frame data, if any. What is Freeze Frame? In OBD II vehicles, when the first emissions related powertrain DTC occurs, the PCM will snapshot (save) a block of current engine parameters. This list of parameters is called Freeze Frame Data and consists of a fixed list of parameters. Vehicles may not support every parameter on the fixed list. NOTE: When DTCs are cleared, the Freeze Frame data is also cleared.
PAGE 21
MIL Status - The status of the vehicle’s MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is displayed here. DTC Count - Displays the total number of emission related DTCs currently stored in the vehicle. I/M Monitors Column - This column displays the title of the monitor.
