    Do I have to clear the error myself or should the error go away on its own once fixed?
    If I clear the error without fixing the cause by mistake, will it reappear?

    I bough a BlueDriver. So basically, I plug it first, then key in "on" position. Then, when I finish to scan, I turn off the car first and I then I unplug the scanner. Am I right?

      No, it can damage the OBD-II scanner tool, and/or can damage the cars computer.
      Only plug the scanner in when the car is off, once you do that you can insert the key and then turn it 2 times (BUT DON’T START THE ENGINE).
      And when you’re done, do the reverse by first taking the key out of the ignition, and then unplugging the scanner.

    It's interesting that even companies selling these things aren't more detailed about how to use them in a video. Follow instructions on screen? Would be helpful to know what those were. Turn key on---accessory position, next click, start car? Are you charged per second to upload a video? Why blow through it that fast?
