Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Clearing Trouble Codes





1. After repair of the trouble area, the diagnostic code retained in memory by the ECT computer must be canceled by removing the fuse No. 6 ECT CLOCK (1OA) for 10 seconds or more, depending on ambient temperature (the lower the temperature, the longer the fuse must be left out) with the ignition switch off.

NOTE:
^ Cancellation can also be done by removing the battery negative (-) terminal, but in this case other memory systems (ECM diagnosis memory, etc.) will also be canceled out.
^ The diagnostic code can also be canceled out by disconnecting the ECT computer connector.
^ If the diagnostic code is not cancelled out, it will be retained by the ECT computer and appear along with a new code on event of future trouble.

2. After cancellation, perform a road test to confirm that a "normal code" is now read on the OD "OFF" light.
