Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The control module turns OFF the MIL after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and DTC with a scan tool.
