95 Passat VR6 DTC erase?

I'd like to erase the DTC codes on my 95 Passat VR6 (OBDI).



Right now when I check for codes (ignition on, jump 4-15 for 3 secs, repeat) it has codes 1344 (secondary air), and the one for the impluse sensor.



I try to erase all codes by connecting the two pins then turning the ignition on and disconnecting after 5 seconds, but then I get all kinds of other codes beginning with four. After a while cycling through these I get a clicking and then on the next code some pump starting up, at which point I turn the ignition off before something irreversible happens.



I got the erase procedure from the Bentley for VR6 in the Golf and Jetta. Is the Passat any different?



Thanks,



Guido

You need to fix the issue first, otherwise the MIL will come back on in a few days. Or if you fix the issue and it doesn't happen again the MIL will go out in a few days.

The MIL light was intermittent, but it has stayed off for the past few days since I changed the impulse sensor ($50). The DTC memory still shows the code though. I don't know how long it remembers everything that ever went wrong so I don't want to be chasing an old fault that no longer exists. I'd like to delete all the faults from memory and start over. Is there any way to do that?
