Freeze Frames
The information shown in the “freeze frames” panel of
VCADS Pro is an overview of values when certain fault
codes become active. These values (before, during, and
after the fault code appears) can be helpful to trace the
problem.

Freeze frames are active only when a fault code indicat-

ing a mechanical fault is set. Check the values that refer
to the fault code.

Example:
If the value is near the alarm limit for a while before the
fault code becomes active, this may indicate contamina-
tion of certain filters or liquids.

If the value suddenly increases or decreases before the

fault code becomes active, this may indicate an open cir-
cuit or short circuit.
