What are the consequences of clearing car fault codes with a computer?
1 Answers
Generally, there are no significant adverse consequences after clearing car fault codes with a computer. Below is relevant information about car fault codes: Temporary fault codes: Those that can be cleared on their own are temporary fault codes, which are faults detected momentarily during vehicle operation. These may be caused by rough road conditions or improper driver operation. Such fault codes will automatically clear once the vehicle condition returns to normal and can be cleared with a computer without causing any negative effects. Permanent faults: Generally, when a car is running, if certain sensor parameters exceed standard values, the ECU will identify them as faults, and corresponding fault codes will be stored. If it is a permanent fault, the decoder cannot clear it.
