Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes: Notes

NOTE: Do not clear the DTCs unless directed to do so by the service information provided for each diagnostic procedure. The Freeze Frame data which may help diagnose an intermittent fault will be erased from the memory when the DTCs are cleared.

The PCM will begin to count the warm-up cycles when the fault that caused the DTC to be stored into memory has been corrected. The DTC will automatically be cleared from the PCM memory when the PCM has counted 40 consecutive warm-up cycles with no further faults detected.
