error codes
« on: May 30, 2012, 10:39:33 AM »

While viewing the instructional video for my Power Vision tuner,  it showed how to clear "error codes".   I checked it and there were errors listed.

My questions:   should error codes be erased in total?    should some be left on?    Is there a index which lists WHAT the codes mean?

Thanks for any answers.

You've not listed what codes are shown so any idea of their importance or relativity (they are hierarchical) can't be known. 

One thing that can be known for sure, however, is that if there really is a problem they'll come right back.  If they are historical from some transient or momentary issue or were thrown as part of some service you can clear the codes and they'll stay gone.  Won't hurt anything to clear them.

So clear them.  If they stay gone; no worries.  If they come back get it checked out to see what's causing the codes to present.

Here is the index for touring models.  Sorry but not sure they are exactly the same for the convertible but hope it helps:  2010 Touring Models - Electronic Diagnostic - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).
