Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac Wave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
- The ECM clears the DTC from ECM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
- Disconnect the ECM battery feed for more than 10 seconds.
