Resetting ECU deletes other problem codes permanently?

So I just installed my new knock sensor and I wanted to see if the ECU was sensing there was a new operating part in my max, so I reset it. The only thing is, I had another problem code (0104 - vehicle speed sensor) also, which obviously disappeared with my resetting of the ECU. I expected only the 0304 (knock sensor) code to go away, but both of them were gone after the ECU reset.

I've logged about a half hour of driving time since then, is that code going to show up again or was it some malfunction in the ECU in the first place?? Did I just get rid of the code completely and I still have to fix it?

If it's still bad it should show up again. Certain systems are only tested under VERY exact situations so it could take awhile.

Yeah joosdawg, I read your thread man, that really sucks... Good luck with that though, I hope you get it working again!

Thanks Terran by the way! I'll keep an eye on the check engine light
