Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
- After performing repairs, clear Engine Control Module (ECM) memory of all stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and freeze-frame data. DTCs and freeze-frame data may be cleared by using scan tool and scan tool manufacturer's instructions.
- DTCs and freeze-frame data may also be cleared by removing EFI fuse from fuse block located in engine compartment. DTCs and freeze-frame data may also be cleared by disconnecting negative battery cable. However, other memory functions (clock, radio, alarm, seats, etc.) will be cleared and must be reset.
NOTE:
If using Toyota hand-held tester, DTCs and freeze-frame data may be cleared by switching from CHECK mode to NORMAL mode, or from NORMAL mode to CHECK mode.
