Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Without Scan Tool

Current trouble codes shown on the display are cleared by turning the ignition switch OFF after conducting self-diagnosis operation. Previous trouble codes, however, cannot be cleared since they are stored in the ECU memory which is operating on the back-up power supply. These trouble codes can be cleared by removing fuse 14 (located under the right lower portion of the instrument panel).

- The No. 14 fuse is located in the line to the memory back-up power supply of the TCU and ECU (MPFI). Removal of this fuse clears the previous trouble codes stored in the TCU and ECU (MPFI) memory.

- Be sure to remove the No. 14 fuse for at least the specified length of time. Otherwise, trouble codes may not be cleared.


When the Engine Control Module (ECM), battery terminals, etc. are disconnected after memory is cleared, idling speed may increase. This is not considered a problem because the ISC Valve duty controlled learning value has been cleared. To return the engine to idling speed, idle for approximately 2 minutes with air conditioner "OFF".
