Clearing Trouble Codes

Clear DTC

NOTE: If you clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) you will not be able to read any codes recorded during the last occurrence.

NOTE: To use the DTC again to identify a problem, you will need to reproduce the fault or the problem. This may require a new test drive or just turning the ignition on (this depends on the nature of the fault).

1. If you have a Tech 2:
1. Connect the Tech 2 if it is still not connected go through Tech 2 OBD II CONNECTION.
2. Push "F1: Clear DTC Information" in the Application Menu and answer "Yes" to the question "Do you want to clear DTC's?"
a. When a malfunction still exists and the Tech 2 displays "AW30-40 CODES NOT CLEARED". This means that the problem is still there or that the recovery was not done. Please go to DTC CHECK.
b. When a malfunction has been repaired and the recovery is done the Tech 2 displays "AW30-40LS CODES CLEARED".
2. When you have no Tech 2, the stored trouble codes can be cleared by shorting the terminals No. 11 and No.4 or 5 (ground) of data link connector with a lead wire for 1 -> 6 seconds.
