6. Answer YES

IGNITION CYCLE DEFAULT
1. Turn the ignition to RUN to start the drive cycle.
2. Existing DTCs will clear from the EBTCM memory if no diagnostic trouble codes occur for 100 drive cycles.
3. Verify proper system operation and verify absence of DTC when the clearing procedure is complete.
All DTCs must be displayed before the EBTCM will permit DTC clearing. The following procedures will not clear DTCs:
