5. FREEZE FRAME DATA

NOTE:
• Data stored at the time of trouble occurrence is shown on display.
• Each time trouble occurs, the latest information is stored in the freeze frame data in memory.
• If freeze frame data is not properly stored in memory (due to a drop in ABSCM power supply, etc.), a DTC,
preceded by a question mark “?”, appears on the select monitor display. This shows it may be an unreliable
reading.
• In case of no trouble code, the initial value of freeze frame data will be displayed.

6. ANALOG DATA ARE DISPLAYED.

A: OPERATION

1. WITHOUT SUBARU SELECT MONITOR

1) Take out diagnosis connector from side of driv-
er's seat heater unit.

2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
3) Connect diagnosis connector terminal 8 to diag-
nosis terminal.
4) Turn ignition switch ON.
5) ABS warning light is set in the diagnostic mode
and blinks to identify diagnostic trouble code
(DTC).

6) After the start code (11) is shown, the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) will be shown in order of the last in-
formation first.
These repeat for a maximum of 3 minutes.

NOTE:
• When there are no diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) in memory, only the start code (11) is shown.
• When on-board diagnosis of the ABS control module detects a problem, the information (up to a maximum
of three) will be stored in the EEP ROM as a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). When there are more than three,
the most recent three will be stored. (Stored codes will stay in memory until they are cleared.)
