- If you have Clear code, reset ECU and Turn off light by Scanner and light is not light ON again then it is history code and you do not need to repairs. - If you have Clear code, reset ECU and Turn off light by Scanner but light still come back ON after few seconds then your car is still fault. You must replace part or repair this fault and reset ECU again more times by Scanner for check. |
