Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Freeze frame data
1. DESCRIPTION
(a) 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.
(b) 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:
1) the ecm is changed from normal mode to check mode
or vice versa; or 2) the ignition switch is turned from on

Check mode procedure
HINT:
Intelligent tester only:
Compared to normal mode, check mode is more sensitive to
malfunctions. Therefore, check mode can detect the
malfunctions that cannot be detected by normal mode.

VC Output Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The ECM constantly uses 5 V from the battery voltages supplied to the +B
(BATT) terminal to operate the
microprocessor. The ECM also provides this power to the sensors through the VC
output circuit.
When the VC circuit is short-circuited, the microprocessor in the ECM and
sens ...

HANDLING OF HOSE CLAMPS
(a) Before removing the hose, check the clamp position
so that it can be reinstalled in the same position.
(b) Replace any deformed or dented clamps with new
ones.
(c) When reusing a hose, attach the clamp on the
clamp track portion of the hose.
(d) For a s ...
