Default LTPWS Help

OK....been meaning to take care of this for a while, but haven't. Thought today would be a good day to do it.

My LTPWS light comes on at start-up, but then goes off after driving maybe a 1/4 mile or so. I believe this is due to my starting the car up so many times within a period of time without the car moving. I know that there is a way to clear the codes/light by shorting out pins on the OBD-II port. However, I cannot remember how to do this.

Anyone shed some light?

For 95 it's 6 to 5...3 times within 10 secs. I believe it's the same for 96, but not sure?

If you turn the ignition "on" 3 times without moving the lLTPWS light will illuminate according to the FSM.

Default For the '92 year:

From the '92 manual: "cleared by Tech1 by entering and exiting field service 3 times within 10 secs, or by grounding pins A and B at the ALDL 3 times within 10 secs. The LTPWS module will confirm by illuminating LowTire and ServiceLTPWS lamps simultaneously. Both lights stay on until ignition is turned off and then back on"

I would assume from the fact you have to turn ign off then on that the ign must be on when grounding the pins.

I'm wondering if you can also clear them by just removing the neg battery cable for a minute? Anyone know if this will also clear the LTPWS codes?
