The mileage acquired from the time the code first was set to when the scan is performed can typically be found in the freeze-frame data.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not available
• D. Unknown

Answer: (A)

Freeze-frame data is a snapshot of conditions at the moment a diagnostic trouble code is set, and it typically includes the vehicle’s mileage. This mileage value shows how many miles were on the odometer when the code first appeared, providing important context for diagnosing whether the fault relates to wear, usage patterns, or a transient condition. Because the odometer reading is a straightforward, fixed reference, most modern systems record it alongside other parameters like engine RPM, vehicle speed, and sensor readings, making the mileage available when you review the freeze-frame data. If the vehicle or tool doesn’t populate it for a particular situation, you’d still be able to check the actual odometer reading separately, but the standard expectation is that the mileage is present in the freeze-frame record.
