How do I clear the codes on the ECU on my Cadillac Escalade? After fixing the EBCM, the lights on the dash indicating the failure are still on. How do I turn off those lights. Can't seem to find the fuse for the ECU to try to reset the code. Can you help?

You should be using a scan tool with code clearing settings, if you disconnect the battery this will also clear codes but vital system memory will be lost including any radio security codes.

The codes should not be latched when a failure occurs. If the lights are still on, a fault may still exist. You would need a scan tool to do it correctly, you should not have any radio security problem with a battery disconnect.
