2. Locate the OBD-II port, which is usually found under the dashboard on the driver's side.

3. Connect an OBD-II scanner to the port.

4. Turn on the ignition, but do not start the engine.

5. Follow the prompts on the scanner to access the vehicle's diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

6. Write down or take a screenshot of the DTCs for future reference.

7. Once you have recorded the DTCs, select the option to clear the codes from the scanner.

8. Follow the prompts on the scanner to confirm the reset.
