EXITING DIAGNOSTIC MODE
To get out of the diagnostic mode at any time during the test, depress the "RESET" button on the DIC, or turn the ignition switch "OFF". Any trouble
codes not previously erased are not erased when this is done.
NOTES:
The ECM clear codes option may be used to clear stored PCM trouble codes. When selected, the ECM clear codes option immediately erases all codes
stored up to that point and causes the IPC to display "ECM CODES CLEAR". Once a problem has been corrected, it is a good idea to clear codes so that
any future service work is not needlessly confused.
Many PCM codes have complex test and failure conditions. Therefor, simply clearing codes, exiting diagnostics, and watching to see is the code sets
again may not indicate whether a problem has been corrected. Test conditions vary greatly by individual codes. If the code does not reappear after
meeting the test conditions, chances are good that the problem is fixed.
