CLEAR_DTC fault clear repeater
on: June 20, 2023 (GMT)

Hi, I’m trying to automate the RESET FAULTs with a 6 seconds sleep timer, but how do I call the reset faults from a script?

Something like this?

in init():
sensor = Sensor.getSensorByName(“CLEAR_DTC”);

in main():
sensor.setValue(1);
sensor.start();
Time.sleep(6000);

Can someone please explain how to call the Reset Faults command?
Thank you very much!

Apparently DTC_CLEAR is not called via a sensor.
Can someone explain how i can do that?

there are different commands to remove errors on different brands of cars
for example 1800FF00
in Torque you can implement a button with a command to remove errors

isn’t there an option under speech/alarm
settings to do this?

That speech/alarm option doesn’t remove the MIL unfortunately…

Oke, what works for me is the Remove Fault button, but I have to push it manually every 5 seconds, to prevent MIL. I know, it’s because of a broken sensor, which is difficult to replace, so currently looking for a temp solution…
What is the command I need to send via a script? Or what is the command send from this button?
I have a VW crafter 2010.

Curious why the option below
the automatic scan did not clear
DTC but the clear fault pushbutton
did.

Just wondering why you want to erase the check engine light absolutely

if you need to do it every 5 seconds i would say change the sensor or make sure the check engine light don’t come up by by- passing that sensor

I made the following script as a temporary workaround to cope with the dreaded EGR valve from hell in a Skoda Octavia II (CAYC engine). The code is simple but thus far effective – after a bit of testing, YMMV as may mine – in stopping that #$%#*^ coil led from blinking and the thing going into ‘limp mode’ while the engine is not yet fully warmed up. The real fix consists of either cleaning and greasing alt. replacing the EGR valve but as that is placed on the cylinder block underneath the DPF and necessitates dismantling far too many bits and even then is hardly reachable while lying underneath the car I don’t have the time to do this yet.

As configured it sends a clear DTC command every 5 seconds, this works for the VAG CAYC engine I’m using it on. Other brands might need different codes, uncomment what works for you.

scriptTitle="DTC_Clear_Loop";
scriptDescription="Clear DTCs at a specific time interval";
scriptPackage="org.unternet.app.torque.script.dtcclearloop";
scriptVersion=1;
scriptAuthor="Yetanfou";

onInit = function() {
   quit = false;
};

main = function() {
   while (!quit) {
      if (OBD.isConnectedToAdapter() && OBD.isConnectedToECU()) {

         // The most common clear DTC command is mode 4 
         OBD.sendCommandGetResponse("clear_dtc", "04\r");

         // Torque itself uses the following sequence, use what works for you...
         // OBD.sendCommandGetResponse("clear_dtc", "14\r");
         // OBD.sendCommandGetResponse("clear_dtc", "14FF00\r");
         // OBD.sendCommandGetResponse("clear_dtc", "140000\r");
         // OBD.sendCommandGetResponse("clear_dtc", "0100\r");
         // OBD.sendCommandGetResponse("clear_dtc", "04\r");
         // OBD.sendCommandGetResponse("clear_dtc", "14FF00\r");
         // OBD.sendCommandGetResponse("clear_dtc", "14\r");
         // OBD.sendCommandGetResponse("clear_dtc", "140000\r");
      }

      // Sleep for as many seconds as you are willing to, the longer the better up to a certain level...
      Time.sleep(5000);
   }
};

stop = function() {
    quit = true;
};

The script works, the codes get reset and the coil lamp disappears… as long as the car is not moving. As soon as it starts moving this specific code can only be reset by cycling the ECU (contact off-contact on), alas. This could be brand-specific or code-specific or just my bad luck so maybe this script works for you?
