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.
Continuous Memory Codes (Soft Faults)
These codes indicate a fault that may or may not be present at time of testing. These codes are used to diagnose intermittent problems. Continuous Memory Codes are retrieved during KOEO SELF-TEST. Some codes may turn on MIL or CHECK ENGINE light. Corresponding soft trouble code will be retained in ECA memory. If fault does not reoccur within 40 warm-up cycles (80 cycles on some models), ECA will automatically clear code.
Technician may clear service codes from memory. See CLEARING CODES . Intermittent faults may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring-related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
