After running my '97 XD for a few years with the CEL on, I've decided it's time to get it fixed properly. I have a simple OBDII reader, and the issue was the downstream O2 sensors. Because I'm cheap, I just kept resetting the code anytime I had to go through DEQ to register the truck here in Oregon. Unfortunately, my OBDII reader is no longer reading the code nor is it able to reset it. I know the reader works, as I tried it on my other car, so now I'm investigating why it's no longer working on the Disco (I'm guessing a fuse, but hadn't gotten to it yet).
I picked up the O2 sensors from Will, and finally installed them tonight. Since I can't use my reader to clear the code, I'm wondering if the code will reset itself after some time/mileage. I only drove it about 5 miles into town and back, the code never cleared, so I'm wondering if a bit more driving will clear it.
TL;DR: will driving my disco with new O2 sensor eventually clear the CEL code?
