Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2	Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Command the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister vent solenoid valve ON and OFF with a scan tool. Do you hear or feel a click from the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve when the valve is commanded ON and OFF?	Go to Step 3	Go to Step 4
3	Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	Go to Step 4	Go to Intermittent Conditions
4	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Probe the battery positive voltage circuit of the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve with a test lamp connected to a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 5	Go to Step 7
5	Test the control circuit of the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve for a short to ground. Refer to Testing for Short to Ground andWiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 9	Go to Step 6
6	Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the control module. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections andConnector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 9	Go to Step 8
7	Repair the battery positive voltage circuit of the EVAP vent solenoid valve for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing andWiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Replace the fuse as necessary. Did you complete the repair?	Go to Step 9	-
8	Replace the engine control module (ECM). Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 9	-
9	Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	Go to Step 2	Go to Step 10
10	Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?	Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information	System OK
