Conditions for Clearing the DTC

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

A scan tool can clear the DTC.
The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the DTC passes.
