Clearing DTCs

Disconnecting the battery or the IPC connectors will not clear a DTC. A DTC can only be cleared in one of the following three ways:

    • Using the IPC On--Board diagnostic feature.
    • Using a scan tool.
    • The IPC will automatically clear a DTC if the malfunction has not occurred within 50 ignition cycles.

To clear DTCs press and hold the RESET button to clear DTCs for the system displayed.
