Clear the Continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and Reset the Emission Monitors Information In the Powertrain Control Modu

CLEAR THE CONTINUOUS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs) AND RESET THE EMISSION MONITORS INFORMATION IN THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

The clearing of continuous DTCs allows the scan tool to command the PCM to clear/reset all emission-related diagnostic information. While carrying out this operation, DTC P1000 is stored in the PCM until all the OBD system monitors or components have been tested to satisfy a drive cycle without any other concerns occurring. For additional information about a drive cycle, refer to On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Drive Cycle. Clearing the DTCs from the vehicle-specific continuous memory DTC menu clears all systems, including the OBD systems. Clearing the DTCs from the OBD generic menu only clears OBD features.
