4.2 Erasing Codes

CAUTION: 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.

NOTE: Erasing codes does not mean that trouble codes in ECU

have been eliminated completely. As long as there is fault with the

vehicle, the trouble codes keep on presenting.
