One of two screens displays: If the diagnostic checks are working correctly and
no DTCs have been stored in vehicle’s memory, a SYSTEM PASS message
displays. If not, the tool displays a screen indicating the number DTCs.
Use the
arrow keys to scroll
through the codes. Note the codes and
press
to return to the GM Func-
tion List.
Erase Codes
The
Erase Codes
function deletes the DTCs from the vehicle’s computer mem-
ory. Perform this function with KOEO or KOER. This function should be per-
formed only after the systems have been checked completely and DTCs have
been documented.
After servicing the vehicle, erase the stored DTCs, perform a road test, and then
verify no new codes have been stored. If DTCs return, the problem has not been
corrected or other faults are present.
Some codes can only be removed by repairing the faults that caused
them. Therefore, these codes will remain in the vehicle’s memory until the
condition is repaired.
Not all trouble codes can be automatically erased using the scan tool.
Some vehicles require a manual erasing procedure. If possible, the tool
performs the appropriate
Erase Codes
procedure for your vehicle.
Select
Erase Codes
and press the
key.
A message appears asking if you are

brackets to the desired response and

Selecting NO and pressing
returns you to the GM Function List.
Selecting YES displays a screen
prompting you to turn ignition ON. Turn
ignition key ON. Engine can be off or
running. Press
to continue.
