    Diagnostic Trouble Code

    When you car has a problem, and the "Check Engine" light goes off, the car will self diagnose itself and return a certain error code in relation to the problem.

    so I guess this doesn't work on the 7G then? or do you just not know, and maybe I should get off my lazy ass and try it and let everyone know if it works or not huh? lol.

    It simply clears the code and in turn makes the CEL go away.

    yeah I tried it on mine and the cruse light never came on. Someone else should try it though if they have a 7G.

    Just a quick question about this. I got the cruise light to flash, but on part 3 where it says release brake pedal and auto cruise control, does that just mean to click the button and turn it off? I tried that once and it didn't work but i am going to try again after typing this. Thanks.

    Since i don't have cruise control i can't tell you anything, but let us know how it works out.
