I don't. A friend might have one. I did recheck the connections and that is how I found the one I missed. Planning to recheck other work later today.

 

Are the lights on the dash still on?

Depending on the model of your scanner, some codes might stay displayed as permanent after they have been fixed. An other scanner model might not show the code anymore.

 

If the fault has been rectified the code would change from permanent/current to history..

 

I have seen it many times that the codes stay as permanent after they have been fixed on certain scanner models. That is annoying and misleading and when that happens I will confirm with a scanner that I know of will not display codes that way.

 

I recheck the wiring, everything looks good. The vehicle drives fine. I confirm the speedometer is pretty accurate. As suggested I'm going to find a scanner that can do ABS and graphing wheel speed.

 

Are the lights on the cluster still on?

 

Permanent codes are a new thing is 2010 and newer vehicles so folks are not up to speed on them yet. With the check engine light off and a permanent code present does not mean there is anything wrong with your car. It means there WAS something wrong with your car and those codes are going to stay around a while to make sure you fixed it right. If not for a state emissions inspection you can basically ignore Permanent codes they are not hurting anyone hanging around inside a ECU.

You cannot clear a permanent code with a scanner or battery disconnect. No scanner can clear then so don't waste any money. Wait till the Check Engine Light comes of to try and diagnose anything. Only Pending or Current codes are to be diagnosed and repaired.
