Capturing DTC Info (Capture Info)

Selecting this option on the scan tool allows the technician to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records that may be stored in the PCM memory. Capture DTC into before beginning diagnosis. This is a step in the OBD System Check. At the end of the diagnostic tables you are instructed to clear DTCs, verify that the repair was successful, and then to review captured information. The captured information will contain any additional DTCs and related data that was stored originally (if multiple DTCs were stored).

Selecting this option on the scan tool allows the technician to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records that may be stored in the PCM memory. This can be useful if the PCM or battery must be disconnected and later review of the stored information may be desired.
