No, you can't clear codes on any vehicle by disconnecting the battery. Thet are stored in the ECM and are still there when you re-connect the battery.

Remove negative battery cable. Turn on headlights. Wait 15 minutes. Turn off headlights. Replace negative battery cable. Better, go to Autozone, ask them to plug in their OBDII analyzer and hit "Clear". that way you do not clear the corrections the computer has added to the system and will have to relearn if you remove the battery cable. just remove the negative battery cable,wait 5 min,and put it back on,, computer will reprogram all by itself.

You clear code 42 just as you clear any other code. Disconnect the battery cable from the battery for 30 seconds, then reconnect.

This answer applies only to '95 and older models (OBD-1).
