How to Clear 2001 Monte Carlo SS Engine Code

[Larry Johnson]

Guys,
Is there a easier way to clear the engine code without disconnecting the battery? On my Concorde I have a Fuse that I can remove and it works.
How can I clear the “Trac Off” and the “ABS” lights on the dash?

To completely clear them you will need a scantool so you can tap into the abs module and clear them from there. They will most likely come back on though because it sounds like a hard code. If you can, have a shop or someone look up the codes and post em here.

I can’t speak much for the TCS, but from my experience, the ABS lights typically won’t go off unless you fix the issue (cut sensor or bad bearing)… It may stay off for a few cycles, but if the bearing is bad, it will come back on and if the sensor is cut somewhere, it will come on immediately. My recommendation would be to purchase an OBD II reader. I probably can’t advertise here, but there is one out there for 100.00 that will read ABS codes on Chrysler’s/Chevy (verified Monte Carlo SS) and starts with a B. Google will help with that.

Best Regards,
Ryan
