Yep the mini OBDii has an erase button. I erased the code this morning. It hasnt turned on since then. Is there a way to make sure it's not failing? I average about 14-20 miles every 3-4 days. I dont really drive much. If I need to I ride my bicycle within a 10-12 mile radius.

Again, that test only gets performed after you have driven for more than 10 minutes and then shut the car off for more than 6 hours. If you have ever walked by your car after it had been sitting for the better part of a day and heard it making a buzzing sound, then that was the test happening.
