Please read thru this thread - NO - you're "scanner" can't clear the code - and in your case I suspect the original code was from the adapter plug... hoep you used genuine MB/Mopar on that $12 plastic connector:

Congrats, I would have searched for a well appointed 2000 or 2001 if I wanted a gas model - good luck with it.

update for fault po743, after replacing the conductor plate trans connector and solenoid y36y6 on conductor plate. when the benz yesterday and asked to get the car scanned and fault deleted if possible. long story short fault is still present and they are now taking a look at it again. does anyone have the wiring diagram/ location to where the wires run? thinking its a possible wiring short.
