Starts Since Set Counter

The starts since set counter counts the number of times the vehicle has been started since codes were last set, erased, or the battery was disconnected. The reset counter will count up to 255 start counts.

The number of starts helps determine when the trouble code actually happened. This is recorded by the PCM and can be viewed on the DRB III as STARTS since set.

When there are no trouble codes stored in memory, the DRB will display "NO TROUBLE CODES FOUND" and the reset counter will show "STARTS since clear = XXX."
