Erase Codes
The Erase Codes function deletes the DTCs from the vehicle’s computer mem-
ory. Perform this function with KOEO or KOER. This function should be per-
formed only after the systems have been checked completely and DTCs have
been documented.
After servicing the vehicle, erase the stored DTCs, perform a road test, and then
verify no new codes have been stored. If DTCs return, the problem has not been
corrected or other faults are present.
✓
Some codes can only be removed by repairing the faults that caused
them. Therefore, these codes will remain in the vehicle’s memory until the
condition is repaired.
✓
Not all trouble codes can be automatically erased using the scan tool.
Some vehicles require a manual erasing procedure. If possible, the tool
performs the appropriate
Erase Codes procedure for your vehicle.
