Reset codes?
If my car sets a code, say a bad 02 sensor, and I replace the 02 sensor, will that code still be pulled up even of the problem is fixed? Do I have to have the code deleted or will fixing the problem clear the code? Thanks

Okay, so if the problem is fixed 100%, and I take it to like Autozone and have the codes pulled, that code will still come up even though problem has been fixed?

Some codes are set after a "problem" occurs for say, 3 cycles. (not always clear to me what a "cycle" is).For example, a heater code on an O2 sensor. After X number of cycles where the condition doesn't occur, the code becomes dormant, that is to say the MIL light will go off.
