Default Code Scanner Question

Hi Guys,

I currently have a P0441 on my '97 Dodge Ram... I know I can get rid of the engine check light by disconnecting my neg cable.... and turn the key on for a few seconds to erase the PCM memory of the event...(I hope I worded that right)

So here is my question... If I use a scanner to reset the PCM does it actually wipe out all memory of the event? (Again I hope I worded this right)

I guess what I'm asking do scanners erase ALL memory of a fault event?

Thanks........ Jason

You can use some scanner/tuners to read or reset the PCM (clear DTCs) but if you just are reading them then it will not erase them.
