Conditions for Clearing the DTC
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
- A history DTC clears in all of the modules except the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), when the ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.
- If the code is set in the SDM it will never clear and the Air Bag indicator will remain illuminated.
