Starts Since Set Counter

2002 Jeep Liberty Limited Edition 2WD V6-3.7L VIN KSECTION Starts Since Set Counter
The Starts Since Set counter counts the number of times the vehicle has started since the most recent DTC was set. The counter will count up to 255 starts. Note that this counter only applies to the last code set.

When there are no diagnostic trouble codes stored in memory, the DRBIII will display "NO DTC's PRESENT" and the reset counter will show "STARTS SINCE CLEAR" = XXX.

The number of starts helps determine if the diagnostic trouble code is hard or intermittent.
- If the number of starts is less than 3, the code is usually a hard code.
- If the number of starts is greater than 3, it is considered an intermittent code. This means that the engine has been started most of the time without the code recurring.
