CAUTION: Erasing the Diagnostic Trouble Codes may allow the
code reader to delete not only the codes from the vehicle's on-board
computer, but also "Freeze Frame" data and manufacturer specific
enhanced data. Further, the I/M Readiness Monitor Status for all
vehicle monitors is reset to Not Ready or Not Complete status. Do
not erase the codes before the system has been checked completely
by a technician.
NOTE: Erasing codes does not mean that trouble codes in ECU
have been eliminated completely. As long as there is fault with the
vehicle, the trouble codes keep on presenting.
 This function is performed with key on engine off (KOEO). Do
