ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
When the Diagnostic Tool’s ERASE function is used to
erase the DTCs from the vehicle's on-board computer,
"Freeze Frame" data and manufacturer-specific enhanced
data are also erased.
Erase DTCs from the computer's memory as follows:
When DTCs are erased from the vehicle's computer memory, the
I/M Readiness Monitor Status program resets status of all the
Monitors to a not run "flashing" condition. To set all of the Monitors
to a DONE status, an OBD2 Drive Cycle must be performed.
Refer to your vehicle's service manual for information on how to
perform an OBD2 Drive Cycle for the vehicle under test.
1. If not connected already, connect the
Diagnostic Tool to the vehicle's DLC. (If
the Diagnostic Tool is already connected
and linked to the vehicle's computer,
proceed directly to step 4. If not, continue
to step 2.)
2. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT start the
engine. The Diagnostic Tool will
automatically link to the vehicle’s computer.
„ To erase OBD2 DTCs: Wait until the
codes are displayed on the
Diagnostic Tool’s LCD and then
proceed to step 3.
„ To erase ABS or SRS DTCs: Press the ABS or SRS button, as
desired, to retrieve codes, and then proceed to step 3.
3. Press and release the Diagnostic Tool’s
ERASE button. The LCD display will
indicate “ ERaSE ” your confirmation.
„ If you change your mind and do not
wish to erase the codes, press the
DTC/FF button to return to the code
retrieval function.
„
If you wish to continue, press the ERASE button again. The
message “ ERaSE ” displays while the erase is in process.
„
When all retrievable information,
including DTCs, has been cleared
from the computer’s memory, the
Diagnostic Tool will re-link to the
vehicle’s computer, and the LCD
display will show “
dONE ,” followed
by “ REAd .”
