Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory

Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory

Diagnostic Mode 04 makes it possible to erase the DTC memory and to reset all emissions-related diagnostic data. In that way, all faults in the DTC memory in the ECM and TCM are erased. The adaptation values may also be reset.

Emissions-related diagnostic data includes (as applicable):

• - MIL Status

• - Number of DTCs

• - Readiness Bits

• - Confirmed DTCs

• - Pending DTCs

• - DTC that belongs to freeze frame

• - Freeze frame data

• - Test results of specific diagnostic functions

• - Distance driven with "MIL ON"

• - Number of Warm-Up Cycles after erasing the DTC memory

• - Distance driven after erasing the DTC memory

• - Misfire counter

Depending on scan tool and protocol used, the information displayed in diagnostic mode 04 may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID), or contain no name at all and be referenced by only a number.

- Select "Diagnostic Mode 03: Interrogating fault memory ".
