Default Resetting Codes

Oops forgot this, auto-ashole correct. My 94Dak,,5.2m, auto, 4x4. 1st, I'm on my phone, so had to reset my psswd. Then I compounded it by miss copying the word. And it didn't work, took me awhile to figure out my pukup.
*** Is there a way to reset the pcm codes without disconnecting the battery (cause it will run like ****) well maybe it all ready runs bad, and it'll be a lot worse ? Or going to someone that has the DRB11 ? *** Or, I could use a piece of tape and cover that offending message, or the whole dash, I wonder if ignorance is a plea for 95 in a 25 zone.

Resetting codes with the scan tool basically does the same thing as disconnecting the battery..... it clears everything... including everything the PCM has learned about running the engine.

HeyYou, thank you, it's too bad there isn't a way to just clear the malfunction codes and leave the learned engine parameters. I guess when the pcm sets a code, it's included in the normal running parameters. Big, Big, words.
​​​I'm on my 4th tps, the
genuine Mopar tps is worse then the 1 I'm using. Which is from crown auto thru sumitt. I think the Mopar tps is like #10 ? The one from Napa auto parts, was #8 ? When it was worse, I took it back and the counter guy said, we'll put back on the shelf.
After I disconnect/reconnect the batt, with the vacuum leak (plenium) it pops thru the intake while driving between idle-3500 rpm and up to 50mph, it takes awhile to get to 40mph. With my foot in it above 4000rpms and 60-80mph, it it runs without any poping. If I drive 15mi, at 60-80, it will pop a lot less while driving around town, from 30-40mph. Below that, like while moving thru a parking lot, it will pop when fethering the throttle. Maybe not enough air is moving through the engine ?

A couple of things,I tried it 4 times all the same, it threw 2 codes, a 12, yes a 12, 1 flash, space, 2 flashs. A 13 is the map. Then it shows a 23. Air charge temp, voltage too hi or low. Then a couple of 5 flashes.
I have an air charge sensor to change. Have to get a map sensor. I need to check the sensors for output.
