Conditions for Clearing I/M Test DTCs

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Only the OBD II System can erase I/M Test DTCs. The OBD II system must determine that the malfunction that caused the I/M Test DTC to be stored is no longer present and is not commanding the MIL. Each of the following represents ways to clear an I/M Test DTC:
    • If the MIL goes off due to 3 passing drive cycles and the scan tool code clear is not used, the I/M Test DTC is erased at power down of the last drive cycle.
    • If a scan tool code clear is used to turn OFF the MIL, the I/M Test DTC is not erased, therefore the DTC must PASS and not FAIL during the drive cycle. The I/M Test DTC is erased at power down of the drive cycle.
    • If the controller is reflashed/reprogrammed, all I/M Test DTCs are erased.
  2. For the OBD II System to run a single drive cycle for clearing an I/M Test DTC, all of the following conditions must occur:
    • Vehicle ON, engine run time greater than 600 s.
    • Cumulative vehicle speed is greater than 41 km/h (25 mph) greater than 300 s.
    • Continuous engine running and vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph) greater than 30 s.
    • Vehicle OFF for 5 s.
