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 Trouble Codes
Once repairs have been performed, codes must be cleared from ECM memory. Codes may be cleared by following methods:
- Scan tool (follow manufacturer's instructions).
- Remove EFI fuse (15-amp) from engine compartment fuse box, near the battery, for 10 seconds or more to clear memory in ECM.
- Disconnecting negative battery cable (memory for electronic components will be also be canceled).

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
