Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Aztek and 2004 Buick Rendezvous. 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.
