How to Clear Trouble Codes From My 1995 Dodge Truck

1995 Dodge trucks use a system called an On-Board Diagnostics computer to monitor the vital functions of the vehicles. When any of a trucks systems fail, it causes a warning light to illuminate on the instrument panel. The computer also keeps track of the trucks regular servicing needs. After the Dodge has been serviced or repaired, you or your mechanic will need to clear the trouble codes from the computer using a diagnostic code scanner. This can be purchased from any auto parts store.

Instructions

    1

    Open the drivers door and find the diagnostic scanner port. You can find it on the underside of the drivers dash.

    2

    Push the diagnostic code scanners connector cable into the diagnostic port on the Dodge.

    3

    Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "run" position, taking care not to start the engine.

    4

    Search the trouble codes using the instructions in the manual that came with the scanner. When it is finished, press the command "Clear Trouble Codes."

    5

    Disconnect the scanner and turn on the engine. Verify that all warning and service lights have shut off.
