Freeze Frame Data
2002 Cadillac Eldorado V8-4.6L VIN YSECTION Freeze Frame Data
Government regulations require that engine operating conditions be captured whenever the MIL is illuminated. The data captured is called Freeze Frame data. The Freeze Frame data is very similar to a single record of operating conditions. Whenever the MIL is illuminated, the corresponding record of operating conditions is recorded as Freeze Frame data. A subsequent failure will not update the recorded information.
The Freeze Frame data parameters stored with a DTC failure include the following:
^ Air fuel ratio
^ Mass airflow (MAF) sensor
^ Fuel trim (both short term and long term for both cylinder banks)
^ Engine speed
^ Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
^ Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
^ Vehicle speed
^ Throttle Position (TP) angle
^ Manifold Absolute Pressure/barometric Pressure (MAP/BARO)
^ Fuel system status
Freeze Frame data can only be overwritten with data associated with a misfire or fuel trim malfunction. Data from these faults take precedence over data associated with any other fault. The Freeze Frame data will not be erased unless the associated history DTC is cleared.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
