Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Freeze frame data
1. DESCRIPTION
- The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
HINT: If it is impossible to duplicate the problem even though a DTC is detected, confirm the freeze frame data.
- The ECM records engine conditions in the form of freeze frame data every 0.5 seconds. Using the intelligent tester, five separate sets of freeze frame data, including the data values at the time when the DTC was set, can be checked.
- 3 data sets before the DTC was set
- 1 data set when the DTC was set
- 1 data set after the DTC was set
These data sets can be used to simulate the condition of the vehicle around the time of the occurrence of the malfunction. The data may assist in identifying of the cause of the malfunction, and in judging whether it was temporary or not.

DTC check / clear
NOTICE:
All the stored DTCs and freeze frame data are erased if:
the ECM is changed from normal mode to check mode
or vice versa; or 2) the ignition switch is turned from ON
to ACC or o ...
Check mode procedure
HINT:
Intelligent tester only:
Compared to normal mode, check mode is more sensitive to

Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "A"
HINT:
These DTCs relate to the Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
DESCRIPTION
HINT:
This ETC (Electrical Throttle Control System) does not use a throttle cable.
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is mounted on the throttle body, and detects
the opening angle of the
throttle valve. This sens ...
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A"
DESCRIPTION
The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the fluid
temperature into a
resistance value which is input into the ECM.
The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through ECM terminal THO1.
The sensor resistance changes with the transmission f ...
