Default Clearing DIC after running codes.

Is there a way to clear the readout after running the codes? I seem to always have to wait for the readout to clear on its own before I can access other information?

If I remember correctly you just hit reset. I may be wrong. I have had to do it a couple of times but can't remember how I did it...

1. Turn the key to the ON position, but don't start the engine.

2. Clear any messages displayed on the DIC by pressing the RESET button.

3. Hold the OPTIONS button down and press the FUEL button 4 times. The computer will automatically display all the codes it has created. It will cycle through each code every 3 seconds.

Note any code that ends in H is a history code indicating something that has occured in the past but is fine now.

Once the computer has finished going through all of the codes, press RESET to enter the manual configuration mode. It will start with a module and show "NO CODES" or '#CODES".

To clear the errors, once in manual mode, press and hold RESET until it displays "NO CODES". Press OPTIONS to go the next module. Repeat this step until you reset the codes in all the computer modules. Only reset the codes if you want to. It is not nessary to do this.

Pressing RESET does nothing on my car after the code sequence has reached the end of its run. Tried pressing RESET several times as well as holding it in, but it still dominates the display for at least a minute after it parks on the last screen?

Yes, everything works exactly as your procedure states, but when it reaches the end of the code sequence I cannot say check tire pressures, etc. for at least one minute because I cannot dismiss the last code screen manually - just have to wait it out?
