Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
When the system fails and the DTC is stored to the
ECM, even repairing the faulty portion will not clear the
DTC from the memory. To clear the DTC, conduct the
steps listed below.
• Keep the starter switch turned on and the engine
turned off.
• Short the data link connector.
Perform the following steps.
1. Turn off the idle position switch for not less than 1
second but not more than 3 seconds. (Press the
accelerator pedal.)
2. Turn on the idle position switch for not less than 1
second but not more than 3 seconds. (Release the
accelerator pedal.)
