Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Clearing Codes
To clear codes from PCM memory, start KOEO SELF-TEST. When diagnostic trouble codes appear on test equipment or MIL/CHECK ENGINE light, disconnect jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) connector. If using STAR Series Tester, unlatch center button. This procedure erases Continuous Memory Codes from PCM memory. If problem has not been corrected or fault is still present, hard code will immediately be reset in PCM memory.
