reading / clearing codes via the odometer PSD

I've searched a bunch and found all the code lists for the PSD and a little on how to use the odo to read the dtc's. Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to exactly use the odo and what all that stuff is on it and more important what the dtc mean and how to clear them? getting d027, d262, d059 and d058 on the dash for the dtc. A friend read them with a scanner and got p0603 (dp tuner) and p1211 (dp tuner I guess). Why are they not the same? Thanks...

That's because you can't read codes from the ODO. You have to use a PSD compatible scanner.

Last vehicle I drove that could read codes from the ODO was a 1986 Chevy S-10 Blazer. Most vehicles now require a scanner to retrieve DTC's.

Agreed. You can clear the codes without a scanner by disconnecting both batteries for about 10 min.

you may clear the PCM codes, but you'll also set a "low voltage" code in the ABS and GEM controllers..

don't have a clue what you're reading, but they're not DTC's.
