from the vehicle's on-board computer, "Freeze Frame" data
and manufacturer-specific-enhanced data are also erased.
"Permanent" DTCs ARE NOT erased by the ERASE function.
If you plan to take the vehicle to a Service Center for repair, DO NOT

Refer to your vehicle's service manual for information on how to
perform an OBD2 Drive Cycle for the vehicle under test.
