5.2 Erase Codes
IMPORTANT: 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.
Erasing codes does not mean that trouble codes in the ECU have
been eliminated completely. As long as there is fault with the
vehicle, the trouble codes will keep on presenting.
NOTE: This function is performed with key on engine off
(KOEO). Do not start the engine.
