Clear fault history

I can't find the instructions for clearing fault history via forum search, does anyone have a link to a video or instructions on clearing faults? Thanks

Are you talking about check engine light....? I went to the local Pep Boys and the guy plugged in, read my code for me, and erased it, 5 minutes in and out...

Yes, the check engine light is on from a bad glow plug and I thought there was a way to delete the fault code from the hidden menu. Did your light come back on after the guy deleted it?

Yes, but that's because apparently my issue isn't fixed. My code was for a post-cat O2 sensor. I replaced the sensor and the light is still on. Being that its a post cat sensor, I'm thinking maybe the cat is plugged up.

Time to buy AR Design downpipes....?
