Just brain farting.

Thanks
Like many other codes, Durametric stores "pending codes", which are codes triggered by single events such as a onetime misfire. It waits to see if the code trips a minimum number of times (varies by code type), and then sets a "hard code" if the problem remains. For certain codes, a single trip is enough to retrigger the light.
