Default Pulling codes when inspecting used c5?

Hey guys,

I'll be looking at a c5 today. I was wondering, can a owner hide and/or clear troublesome codes so they won't show up when pulling them?

Yes, check and clear any codes take for a test drive getting car up to temp. Turn on and use A/c, check tire pressure sensors are functioning then check codes when you get back before shutting off car.

While driving car above 20 mph select TPMS with the gauge button and scroll thru the readings oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, trans temp, tire pressure front L&R next tire pressure rear L&R.
