Erasing DTCs
■ If the erase was not successful, an
advisory message shows on the LCD
display. Verify that the Tool is proper-
ly connected to the vehicle's DLC
and that the ignition is ON. If the
erase process still does not com-
plete, turn the ignition OFF, wait 10
seconds, then turn back ON and repeat steps 2 and 3.
FORD systems will not display an erase was not successful
message. If the “One moment please erase in progress” mes-
sage on the display does NOT change after 3 minutes, it indi-
cates that the erase function has failed. Check the DLC con-
nections and make sure the ignition key is “ON”. Perform the
ERASE function again.
Erasing DTCs does not fix the problem(s) that caused the
code(s) to be set. If proper repairs to correct the problem that
caused the code(s) to be set are not made, the code(s) will
appear again and the check engine light will illuminate as
soon as the problem that cause the DTC to set manifests
itself.
