Clearing DTC codes using EFI Live
Can anyone tell me what the procedure is for clearing DTC codes using EFI Lives Scan tool?
I tried to do it through the software interface on the laptop connected to the scan tool with the ignition on, but the code wouldn't clear. Are there some codes that can't be reset using the tool, or is there something else I need to do to clear a code?

if the car is running and something is wrong, then the code is just coming back because the ECU\BCM is sensing it. Example, if your car is low on fuel, and you are getting the low fuel message on the DIC, you can clear it BUT, until you put fuel into it, the message will just come back because the car is truely low on fuel. Ideally you would want to find out what the code is and do a little research or ask GM. That can give you a better idea. Hope this makes sense.
