Erase Codes
WARNING: Erasing the Diagnostic Trouble Codes may allow the
scan tool to delete not only the codes from the vehicle’s on-board
computer, but also “Freeze Frame” data and manufacturer
specific enhanced data. Further, the I/M Readiness Monitor Status
for all vehicle monitors is reset to Not Ready or Not Complete
status. Do not erase the codes before the system has been checked
completely by a technician.
NOTE: Erasing codes does not mean that trouble codes in
ECU have been eliminated completely. As long as there is a
fault with the vehicle, the trouble code keeps presenting.
This function is performed with key on engine off (KOEO). Do
not start the engine.
