Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The TCM turns OFF the MIL request during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes.
A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the TCM.
