Clearing Trouble Codes - Variable Effort Steering (VES)

The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in the Electronic Brake Traction Control Module (EBTCM) memory are erased in one of two ways:
- Scan tool.
- Ignition cycle default.
Be sure to verify proper system operation and absence of DTCs in the EBTCM when the clearing procedure is completed. The EBTCM will not permit DTC clearing until all DTCs have been displayed. Also, DTCs cannot be cleared by unplugging the EBTCM, disconnecting the battery cables, or turning the ignition switch off (except on an ignition cycle default).

SCAN TOOL METHOD
Refer to the scan tool's user manual for more information on the operation and usage of the scan tool.

IGNITION CYCLE DEFAULT
If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) occur for 100 drive cycles (a drive cycle occurs when the ignition switch is turned on, any existing DTCs are automatically cleared from the Electronic Brake Traction Control Module (EBTCM) memory.
