Erase Codes
NOTE
1. 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 repairs or
services have been performed.
2. Even if deleted, codes will again display if the underlining fault causing
the code is not addressed.
3. This function is performed with key on engine off (KOEO). Do not start
the engine.
1) Use the UP/DOWN scroll buttons to select Erase Codes from
Diagnostics Menu and press the OK button.
2) A warning message displays for your confirmation.
