Conditions For Clearing MIL/DTC

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Sonoma, 2002 GMC Safari, 2002 GMC Jimmy, 2002 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2002 Chevrolet Blazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive ignition cycles in which the diagnostic test runs and passes.
The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the DTC passes.
The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
