Using the Diagnostic Tool
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
Craftsman 87702 49
Whenever the Scroll function is used to view additional codes,
the Diagnostic Tool’s communication link with the vehicle’s
computer disconnects. To re-establish communication, press the
POWER/LINK
button again.
5. When the last retrieved DTC has been displayed and the DTC
button is pressed, the Diagnostic Tool returns to the “Priority Code”.
To exit the enhanced mode, press the M button. The
Diagnostic Tool returns to the Main Menu screen.
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
When the Diagnostic Tool’s ERASE function is used to
erase DTCs from the vehicle's on-board computer,
"Freeze Frame" data and manufacturer-specific-enhanced
data are also erased. "Permanent" DTCs ARE NOT erased
by the ERASE function.
If you plan to take the vehicle to a Service Center for repair, DO NOT
erase the codes from the vehicle's computer. If the codes are erased,
valuable information that might help the technician troubleshoot the
problem will also be erased.
Erase DTCs from the computer's memory as follows:
When DTCs are erased from the vehicle's computer memory, the
I/M Readiness Monitor Status program resets the status of all
Monitors to a not run "flashing" condition. To set all of the Monitors
to a DONE status, an OBD2 Drive Cycle must be performed.
Refer to your vehicle's service manual for information on how to
perform an OBD2 Drive Cycle for the vehicle under test.
The Diagnostic Tool must be connected to the vehicle’s DLC
to erase the codes from the computer’s memory. If you press
the ERASE
button when the Diagnostic Tool is not
connected to the vehicle’s DLC, the erase instruction screen
displays.
1. If not connected already, connect the
Diagnostic Tool to the vehicle's DLC,
and turn the ignition "On.” (If the
Diagnostic Tool is already connected
and linked to the vehicle's computer,
proceed directly to step 3. If not,
continue to step 2.)
2. Perform the Code Retrieval procedure
as described on page 33.
To erase OBD2 DTCs: Wait until
the codes are displayed on the
Diagnostic Tool’s LCD and then
proceed to step 3.
