ODB1 Reset

[monk]

I read the Error code write up and was able to read the error codes... although it seemed to keep repeating the same code for, let say, 15 times before I stop reading them. I did not see a procedure for clearing the codes. I would like to clear the codes and then check them to see what is happening right now. Can anyone point me to where I can find the reset procedures?

Thanks

From the Pelican Parts write up http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/tech...de_Reading.htm . "When you are finished reading the codes, you can reset the computer and clear them all out. Make sure that the last code (1000) has occurred, and then press down on the gas pedal for more than 10 seconds. This should clear out the memory of the DME. Repeat the fault code reading process, and the computer should generate code 1444, which means that there are no faults stored."
Of course that supposes that the system gives you a last code instead of just continuing to blink.
There is a link off this page http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/tech...nostics%20.htm that suggests there are differences between OBD I systems on different BMWs. Importantly since there are few 318ti owners with the OBD I systems, there is an email for the author inviting questions. Sounds like time to ask an expert
