displays while the erase function is in
progress.
If the engine is running, an advisory
dialog displays. Turn the engine off,

then press the ERASE
button
to continue.

confirmation message shows on the

If the erase was not successful and
ECU error code $22 is present, an
advisory message shows on the
display. Start the engine, hold
vehicle speed at 0, then press the
ERASE
button to continue.
If the erase was not successful and
ECU error code $22 is not present,
an advisory message shows on the
display. Verify that the Code Reader

on, then press the ERASE
button to continue.
Erasing DTCs
does not fix the
problem(s) that caused the cod
e(s)
to be set. If proper repairs to
correct the problem that caused
the code(s) to be set are not made,
the code(s) will appear again (and
the check engine light will
illuminate) as soon as the vehicle
is driven long enough for its
Monitors to complete their testing.
