Can I clear error codes with an OBD scanner?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, it is indeed possible to clear error codes with an OBD scanner. Typically, an OBD scanner will retrieve diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from a vehicle's onboard computer system. Once the codes are displayed, the scanner often provides an option to erase or clear these codes. After clearing the codes, it is important to note that the check engine light may turn off. However, if the underlying issue that triggered the code has not been resolved, the light may reappear shortly after. Some OBD scanners also include features that allow users to analyze and read live data from vehicle sensors, which can assist in diagnosing problems further. It is advisable to consult the scanner's manual for specific instructions related to clearing codes, as the process can vary slightly among different models.
