Conditions for Clearing the DTC
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- A scan tool can clear the DTC.
- The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
- The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the DTC passes.

- Using the Clear Info function erases stored DTCs in both the ECM and TCM.
- Record the DTC Failure Records.
- Clear the DTC.
- Select Trans. Fluid Temp. on the scan tool.
Does the scan tool display a Trans. Fluid Temp. less than the specified value? |
