without other problem. The code gives us the info "DCD runs OK!" and MIL
blinking means "DCD in Progress." The code can be cleared at any time easily
whenever you want, totally worry free.
So OBD-II code that makes trouble should be ignored, so as any related
comments and topics. EPA may not like this, but their software should be
modified accordingly to get rid of the "trouble" by code. DCD don't make
any trouble, but OBD-II code does. So please ignore it and stop talking it.

It's nice your DCD mod. is trouble free, but for the average consumer, a check engine light (CEL) is an issue and failure at time of inspection..
The average consumer or enthusiast is not going to "filter" (misfire) DTC codes, vs. an (additional) Diagnostic Trouble Code, not related to your mod on their own..
