Is there any way to clear these codes without using a code reader to reset them?

Could you use this tool to change the mileage on a leased vehicle? Say maybe a 2001 Jeep Cherokee?

Without a tool!, ie a reset button or disconnecting the battery, etc...

I already know if I have a reader, most can reset the codes for me, I just want to reset them without the need to read them.

Thanks

John, Just disconnect battery (negative) for a few seconds. The light will be off. You'll have to reset heater control from C to F.

Paul,

Temp-reset only applies to DII; John has a DI...


John,
If what triggered the code was an intermittent issue, then after several start-run cycles it will cut the light off on its own. The codes are stored, though, and aren't cleared until a reader of some sort does the deed.
