start pulling codes and then shut off the code scanner, or unhook the wire when it starts spitting them out.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

If that doesn't work, just unplug the ECM ground at the battery. You don't have to disconnect battery, just pull the plug at the pigtail off, then plug it back in.Comment

Yes, but if it's not clearing the codes, what else can you do?Originally posted by gadget73 View PostComment

To clear codes, you're gonna put it in self test mode, without the engine running. It'll flash codes it sees right away. When it flashes the seperator codes, and starts flashing stored memory codes, that's when you take it out of self test mode. Though if you get anything other than a code 11 in the regular code scan, you should fix those first.Comment

I tried that last week and it never did anything :confused:. only way i could clear the continuous memory codes was to disconnect the jumper right as they were being output.Originally posted by 86VickyLX View PostGive a man a fish and he will be fed for a day.
