Test 5: Retrieve/Clear Continuous Memory DTCS: Purpose

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2003 Ford Excursion, and 2003 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The purpose of this test is to determine if PCM has detected any historical or intermittent fault conditions that would cause a performance symptom. The condition that caused a Continuous Memory DTC may no longer exist.
