Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The current DTC B1000 will clear when the microprocessor makes a successful write to the EEPROM and checksum maneuver.
    • A history DTC B1000 will clear after 100 consecutive ignition switch ON/OFF cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.

Diagnostic Aids
