Can the Tianlong fault code be cleared automatically?

Tianlong fault codes cannot be cleared automatically. To simply eliminate the fault code, you can disconnect the positive battery cable and then reconnect it. Introduction to automotive fault codes: Automotive fault codes are error codes generated by the vehicle's computer ECU after analyzing a fault. Most fault codes are caused by sensor malfunctions or poor sensor performance, but some mechanical faults cannot be detected by the ECU. When a car engine develops a fault, a diagnostic computer will display the fault code, allowing the technician to accurately locate the faulty component for repair. Classification of automotive fault codes: There are two types: intermittent faults and actual faults. Typically, intermittent faults can be cleared if they do not recur, but actual faults must be repaired before they can be cleared.
As an ordinary car owner with over a decade of driving experience, I can share some insights. Trouble codes are your car's warning signals indicating where problems lie—like those sudden yellow lights on the dashboard. Don't ignore them. As for automatic clearing, it depends on the issue. For minor glitches—like temporary sensor failures or short circuits caused by bumps—the code might disappear after a few drives as the system detects normal operation and clears it automatically. But for major problems, such as permanent engine or transmission damage, the code won't vanish on its own. You'll need to fix the issue first and then manually clear it with a diagnostic tool. I once assumed a warning light would turn off by itself, but delaying repairs turned a small issue into a costly disaster. My advice: use an affordable OBD scanner to check trouble codes immediately and act based on details. Never wait for it to disappear—this affects driving safety. A breakdown at highway speeds could be dangerous. Regular maintenance also prevents issues, like checking for loose wiring connections.
