Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Montana, 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2002 Chevrolet Venture. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The theft deterrent control module clears the current status of the DTC when it does not see the Learn Coded Key setting as on. The DTC will still be retrieved as current until the ignition switch is cycled. The DTC will become a history DTC at that time.
