When the CanOBD2&1 <strong>Scan</strong> <strong>Tool</strong>'s ERASE function is<br />
used to erase DTCs from the vehicle's on-board computer,<br />
manufacturer specific data (where applicable) is also<br />
erased.<br />
If you plan to take the vehicle to a service center for repair, DO NOT<br />
erase the codes from the vehicle's computer. If the codes are erased,<br />
valuable information that might help the technician troubleshoot the<br />
problem will also be erased.<br />

ENTER/LD button to continue.<br />

ignition “ON” and press the ENTER/LD button to continue.<br />

computer.<br />
- If you do not want to continue with the<br />
erase process, press the ENTER/LD<br />

4. If you chose to erase DTCs, a status<br />
screen displays while the erase function<br />
is in progress.<br />
� If the erase was successful, a<br />
confirmation message shows on the<br />
CanOBD2&1 <strong>Scan</strong> <strong>Tool</strong>’s LCD<br />
display. press the ENTER/LD<br />

<strong>Scan</strong> <strong>Tool</strong> can be used to erase codes for some vehicles,<br />
while others require codes to be erased manually. If the “To<br />
erase DTC’s consult the vehicle’s service repair manual...”<br />
screen displays, you must consult the vehicle’s service repair<br />
manual for procedures to erase DTCs.<br />
