Why Can’t I Clear a Fault Code Even After Repairs?

← Back to All Questions
Home › Questions & Answers › Why Can’t I Clear a Fault Code Even After Repairs?
Intermediate Applies to: UCAN-II, UCAN-II Pro

There are several reasons a fault code may not clear:

  • The underlying issue is not fully resolved
  • The module requires a specific reset procedure beyond just clearing codes
  • The code is a permanent code that requires a drive cycle to reset
  • Some vehicles need to complete a drive cycle before certain codes will clear

Ensure all repairs are complete, then try clearing the code again. If it persists, the vehicle may need additional diagnosis.
