The PCM is monitors all kinds of things while the engine is running and even when not running. Things like fuel rail pressure, engine coolant temperature, ect. For instance when a car over heats a DTC is set and the check engine light comes on. Then when I scan the vehicle, freeze frame data will also be present which shows me the temperature of the coolant.
