Once you have read all the codes, push the button for that port for 6 seconds. It will then flash at you, and hold it for another 6 seconds.

When you push the button again, it should flash back a 1-1-1 at you.

Yes, each one that shows codes other than 1-1-1. For a CEL, likely A6, A7, and A2.

You also need to read all of the codes before you can clear them.
