Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory

Diagnostic Mode 04 makes it possible to erase the DTC memory and to reset all emissions-related diagnostic data. In that way, all faults in the DTC memory in the ECM and TCM are erased. The adaptation values may also be reset.

Emissions-related diagnostic data includes (as applicable):

- MIL Status
- Number of DTCs
- Readiness bits
- Confirmed DTCs
- Pending DTCs
- DTC that belongs to freeze frame
- Freeze frame data
- Test results of specific diagnostic functions
- Distance driven with "MIL ON"
- Number of warm-up cycles after erasing the DTC memory
- Distance driven after erasing the DTC memory
- Misfire counter
NOTE:

Depending on the scan tool and protocol used, diagnostic mode 04 and the information provided may be referred to by a different name.

Procedure 

-- Connect the scan tool.

-- Switch the ignition on.

-- Select Diagnostic Mode 03: Interrogating fault memory.

-- Then select Mode 4: Reset/delete diagnostic data.

The scan tool will display "Diagnostic data being erased".
