Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

DTC P0385

1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor A. Observe the 3X Crank Sensor parameter with the scan tool. Crank the engine. Does the scan tool display 3X Crank Sensor RPM?	Go to Step 3	Go to Step 4
3	Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	Go to Step 4	Go to Intermittent Conditions
4	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the 6-way connector at the ignition control module (ICM). Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Connect a test lamp to a good ground. Probe the low resolution engine speed signal circuit, at the ICM 6-way connector, with the test lamp. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors in Wiring Systems. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 8	Go to Step 5
5	Connect the test lamp to battery voltage. Probe the low resolution engine speed signal circuit, at the ICM 6-way connector, with the test lamp. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 7	Go to Step 6
6	Observe the 3X Crank Sensor parameter with the scan tool. Probe the low resolution engine speed signal circuit repeatedly, at the ICM 6-way connector, with the test lamp. Does the 3X Crank Sensor RPM change?	Go to Step 10	Go to Step 9
7	Test the low resolution engine speed signal circuit between the ICM and the powertrain control module (PCM) for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 13
8	Test the low resolution engine speed signal circuit between the ICM and the PCM for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing andWiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 13
9	Test the low resolution engine speed signal circuit between the ICM and the PCM for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing andWiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 11
10	Test for an intermittent and poor connection at the ICM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections andConnector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 12
11	Test for an intermittent and poor connection at the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections andConnector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 13
12	Replace the ICM. Refer to Ignition Control Module Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 14	-
13	Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 14	-
14	Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn OFF ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	Go to Step 2	Go to Step 15
15	Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?	Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information	System OK
