I think thats what I meant… when there cleared, theres no more cel on, but they still show until driven far enough to reset in the ecu right? and more times then not, if its something serious, it will never clear long enough to be driven 20-30 miles… at least from what ive seen…

My scanners I currently have dont have this function.
