Erasing DTCs
■ If the erase was not successful, an
advisory message shows on the
CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool’s display.
Verify that the CanOBD2&1 Scan
Tool is properly connected to the
vehicle's DLC and that the ignition is
ON. If the erase process still does not
complete, turn the ignition OFF, wait 10 seconds, then turn back
ON and repeat steps 2 and 3.
FORD systems will not display an erase was not successful
message. If the “One moment please erase in progress” mes-
sage on the display does NOT change after 3 minutes, it indi-
cates that the erase function has failed. Check the DLC con-
nections and make sure the ignition key is “ON”. Perform the
ERASE function again.
Erasing DTCs does not fix the problem(s) that caused the
code(s) to be set. If proper repairs to correct the problem that
caused the code(s) to be set are not made, the code(s) will
appear again and the check engine light will illuminate as
soon as the problem that cause the DTC to set manifests
itself.
