Clear the Continuous DTCs and Reset the Emissions Monitors Information In the PCM

CLEAR THE CONTINUOUS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) AND RESET THE EMISSION MONITORS INFORMATION IN THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

NOTE: Clear the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and reset the emission monitors information in the powertrain control module (PCM) was previously called PCM reset.

Description
The clearing of continuous DTCs allows the diagnostic tool to command the PCM to clear/reset all emission-related diagnostic information. While carrying out this operation, a DTC P1000 will be stored in the PCM until all the OBD system monitors or components have been tested to satisfy a drive cycle without any other faults occurring. For additional information about a drive cycle, refer to On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Drive Cycle. Clearing the DTCs from the vehicle-specific continuous memory DTC menu clears all systems, including the OBD systems. Clearing the DTCs from the OBD generic menu only clears OBD features for the 6.0L diesel. On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Drive Cycle

The following events occur when the continuous DTCs and emission monitors information is cleared from the PCM:
- Clears the number of DTCs.
- Clears the DTCs.
- Clears the freeze frame data.
- Resets the status of the OBD system monitors.
- Sets DTC P1000 as a vehicle-specific DTC. P1000 does not appear as an OBD DTC.

Refer to the manufacturer's manual for diagnostic tool instructions.
