I thought the codes remained until reset by a scan tool; that is, even if the malfunction that caused the CEL corrected itself the code reader would show it. I may have been misinformed and I humbly bow to JimF's superior knowledge. I guess if I could choose anyone to catch my mistakes regarding CELs, JimF is the one I'd pick! Jim, your site is outstanding and I used it to learn a great deal about scan tools and MB electronics. In case anyone has not seen JimF's excellent site here is the link.
