Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Buick LaCrosse and 2005 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The PCM illuminates the MIL.
- A DTC will clear the 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
- A DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear Information function.
