4.5.6 Erasing trouble codes
"Erase trouble codes" erases all pending and
confirmed codes from the fault memory.
!
Before erasing trouble codes it must be
remembered that this procedure also resets
all the freeze frame data and the status of the
on-board monitoring (Readiness codes). As
a result, exhaust emission testing performed
directly after erasing the trouble codes may not
be passed by reading out the OBD diagnostic
data, as the vehicle has not yet completed its
internal tests. Additional testing (exhaust gas
measurement or sensor testing) is required in
such cases.
Erasing the trouble codes also deletes the
following information stored in the electronic
control unit:
R
Number of trouble codes
R
Freeze frame data
R
Status of system monitoring tests
R
Engine running time (in minutes) with activated
malfunction indicator light since trouble codes
were last erased.

Safety information

!
The OBD 100 can only read and recognize
emission-related diagnostic data and
faults. It is not possible to read and display
information or faults relating to airbags, the
braking system, steering or other important
vehicle functions. The vehicle is therefore
to be taken to a workshop in the event of
any vehicle reports which are not emission-
related.
¶
Pay attention to the warnings, instructions
and service procedures of the vehicle
manufacturer.
¶
The OBD 100 is not intended for use by
anyone (including children) with physical,
sensory or mental disabilities or without
the necessary experience and/or knowledge
unless they are supervised by a person
responsible for their safety or have received
instructions from this person on how to use
the OBD 100.
¶
Make sure the OBD 100 is always kept in a
safe place.
¶
Never expose the OBD 100 to direct sunlight.
¶
Keep oils, greases, moisture, rainwater and
the like away from the OBD 100. Avoid all
contact with water or other liquids. Water
could cause a short circuit and damage both
the vehicle to be tested and the OBD 100.
¶
Make sure the OBD 100 and the OBD
diagnostic connector are dry before
connecting the OBD 100 to the vehicle.
¶
Never connect the OBD 100 to a vehicle with
wet hands.
¶
Secure the vehicle to stop it rolling away.
¶
Prior to vehicle testing make sure the
transmission is set to PARK (automatic) or
NEUTRAL (manual) and that the handbrake
is applied.
¶
Unless otherwise stated, the ignition is
always to be set to OFF on connecting and
disconnecting electrical components.
¶
The OBD 100 is maintenance-free and has no
exchangeable replacement parts. It is thus
not necessary to open the OBD 100.
¶
Make sure the OBD 100 is not damaged in
any way before connecting the OBD 100 to
the vehicle.
