Fault codes

I did the fault code check for my car and the same code kept cycling through. I never got the short 1000 code. Anyone have this problem or know how to reset it. It drives me nuts I sat there for at least 30 minutes at one point.

I thought when this happened it was showing a legitimate error code but it just kept showing it over again and never showed the finished code.

If you think the error code it shows is not valid then clear the codes and see if any new codes come up.

That is just it I can't figure out how to clear the codes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I almost volunteered that info in my last post. Guess I should have.

The answer is in the other thread active thread of today:
Display..Any Idea

You need a code reader which will reset the CEL. You can buy it from Pelican.
