Clear The Continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) In The Transaxle Control Module (TCM): Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Clearing the continuous DTCs in the TCM allows the diagnostic tool to command the TCM to clear all DTCs along with freeze frame information.
The following events occur when the continuous DTCs are cleared in the TCM:
- Clears the number of DTCs.
- Clears the DTCs.
- Clears the freeze frame data.
NOTE:
Clearing the continuous DTCs in the TCM can be carried out only with the ignition key in the ON position. It can not be carried out once the ignition key is cycled to the START position.
