Clearing Trouble Codes

AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE




1. Cancel the memory of diagnostic trouble codes by disconnecting the negative battery cable for at least 20 seconds and then depressing the brake pedal.
2. Remove the Self Diagnosis Checker and system selector (SST) if connected.

NOTE: If the tires are rotated by using a chassis roller with the ignition switch ON, the ABS control module may memorize the action as a malfunction and the ABS warning light may illuminate. If the ignition switch is turned to LOCK and then to ON again, the ABS warning light will not illuminate, because the action will be considered a past malfunction.




3. Drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 mph), and depress the accelerator pedal fully to activate kickdown. Stop the vehicle gradually.




4. Connect the SSTs to the data link connector.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON.
6. Verify that no codes are displayed.
