Soft and hard codes
Get in the habit of recording all codes before you turn the key off. All soft codes will clear and be gone when the key is turned off. Soft codes.
Hard codes become hard codes when the pcm sees the event a programmed amount of times in succession. This seems to vary from year to year.
Probably due to Flash or strategy being run.
So if you do a test drive unless you do a freeze frame or snap shot you will loose most of your captuered data during your test drive. When you turn off the key.
Darn it web page quit messing with me while I type LOL
Focus keeps jumping around on me.

Lol no beers havent had a drop in 25 yrs. I think in computers they call it carat focus.
The cursor jumps around or page scrools up. Used to be an old nuisance virus back in the 60's but think every AV should have that listed by now. Maybe they do not even list it anymore.

" Trailer fault" usually means a short in wiring to the plug for the trailer, check for a chaff or a problem in harness that hooks up to the trailer plug on your truck. I had same problem this afternoon, traced it to a short in wiring box in truck bed.
