Using Engine Control Module
To clear any Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) from the memory, either to determine if the malfunction will occur again or because repair has been completed, a diagnostic scan tool may be used, or the power feed must be disconnected for at least thirty (30) seconds.Depending on application, the following methods may be used to clear DTC's:
- Disconnect power source to the Engine Control Module (ECM) ie., fuse, pigtail at battery etc.
- Disconnect negative battery cable. (The negative battery cable may be disconnected, but other on-board memory data, such as preset radio tuning, will also be lost.)
NOTE: To prevent system damage, the key must be "OFF" when disconnecting or reconnecting power.
