Stumped reading codes
Tried pulling codes this PM and i can't get past my low tire pressure message. Do I have to fill the tire up AND drive the car to clear this ?
If i follow the typical system ie: turn key, reset,hold options, press fuel X4 the computer tries to get me to reconfigure my options, but does not allow me to see codes. Where have I gone wrong ?

It sounds like you are following the correct directions. When pressing the fuel button, make sure you are making a deliberate action to depress the button. If you press too rapidly, the computer will not recognize what you are doing.

Total failure. I followed the right steps (after finally clearing my low tire pressure message) and still cannot access the codes. After I press and hold the options button, for as long as 30 seconds, and then move on to the fuel button ALL I get are fuel related messages, one for each push !

Yesterday I drew a blank when trying to pull the codes. Today I gave it a shot after a couple hours at the gym and it worked, the first time. Didn't do anything different than the last 25 tries, go figure.
Anyway it took me so by surprise I had nothing to write on or with. There were a dozen codes or so but all were "history" probably related to my dead battery last week or from when I disconnected my F55 suspension.
I cleared them all and will start with a clean slate on the next NICE snow less day. I do still have the check engine light on, if I have no new codes after the next drive how do I get rid of that light ?
