Default How do I clear a permanent code?

My 2017 1500 5.7l hemi is throwing a P0308 code but my code reader says it's permanent and will not clear it. Any ideas how to clear it? Will disconnecting the battery for awhile clear it? Or do I have to go to a dealer to have the PCM reflashed? I think it's the result of a batch of bad gas so I'm draining the tank, putting in some injector cleaner and dry gas, changing the fuel filter, and refilling it with a higher octane gas for the next tank in an effort to at least get it running smoothly again. I also tried swapping coils to see if the code followed the coil change but it still says P0308 and is still permanent so I cannot really verify the real codes anymore.

That code should actually clear itself, once the condition that caused it is fixed. Resetting the PCM should also clear it. No idea why your scanner can't...... that just seems odd.
