  2. Turn on the ignition: Without starting the engine, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position.
  3. Access diagnostic menu: Follow the scanner's instructions to navigate to the diagnostic menu.
  4. Select 'Erase Codes' or 'Reset' option: Initiate the reset procedure as per the scanner's interface instructions.
  5. Confirm the reset: Wait for a confirmation message that the codes have been erased.
3. Battery Disconnection (if applicable)
  1. Turn off the ignition: Ensure the vehicle is completely powered down.
