The other day, the check engine light flashed 45, an O2 Sensor failure. There was noticable black smoke coming from the exhaust. My dealer sent me a new O2 Sensor and the smoke went away.
The problem is that the shop manual states: "If the Diagnostic Trouble Codes are not cleared from the ECU memory they will continue to display until cleared, even if the fault has been addressed. Always clear the trouble codes after addressing a fault to see if the action was successful. If the fault is still present the DTC will show again."
My nearest dealer is a nine hour round trip away, so it is not convenient to have him reset the ECU with his diagnostic tool/reader, but I cannot verify the problem is solved until the code is reset.
Does anyone know a reset procedure for the GTi 300/ GTi 200s?
