Data collected from two vehicles with different manufacturer ECUs shows that Freeze Frame data captured during open and short circuit faults of sensors at different engine speeds does not provide sufficient information to identify the cause of the faults. The study concludes that Freeze Frame data will not aid in failure cause analysis for open and short circuit faults, suggesting that it may not be necessary for OBD I Grade A systems.

Diagnosis of open and short faults with Freeze frame data for OBD I Grade A
Background • EPPR 15-05 Slide 5, India proposal to delete Need for FFD for Grade A. • EPPR 15-13 Japan Proposal slide 7 on FFD requirement for Grade A • Discussion during EPPR 15 on this point and need for more data from India.
Data generation • Based on the request at EPPR 15, India collected data on two vehicles. • Both vehicles had Engine Controller (ECU) from different manufacturer • Both ECU’s are compliant to OBD I fully • Faults were created in both vehicles in different sensors at two different operating points
ECU Freeze Frame data • ECU Freeze Frame data captured during open and short circuit faults of sensors like Engine temperature sensor, Throttle Position Sensor and Lambda sensor for ECUs from two different manufacturers • Freeze frame data also captured at different engine speeds to identify the possible link between Freeze Frame data and the root cause of faults.

ECU Freeze Frame Data Conclusions • Freeze frame data captured during open and short circuit faults of sensors at different engine speeds does not have sufficient information to identify cause for fault • Freeze frame data will not help in failure cause analysis for open and short circuit faults • Hence freeze frame data need not be mandatory for OBD I Grade A
