Do I have to clear the error code after I install a sensor

Hi all,
do i need to clear the error code on my odb 2 after I installed a sensor?
like with some bmw's

On all obd2 compliant cars you do not need to clear the code. It helps determine if you made the right fix. But on almost every model, once you run 3 drive cycles without the problem, the code should clear itself, and shut off the light.

Hi
Make: Chevrolet
Model: Aveo 1.5 LS
Year: 2007/11
Issue
Bad idle. No Power when driving. Rev counter remains at 3000 rp/m. Engine light on.
Customer service poor, took it in, they switched off the engine light, it ran but the engine light came on.
Car not moving even when foot on the peddle. Switches off when I press deeper.
Attempt at solving the problem
1. I did an engine overhaul(Rings, bearings, cylinders, valves, valve stem seals);
2. Replaced the sensors;
3. Ignition coil and cables replaced;
4. Complete service.


Still no power.


Engine light stays on mechanic and are stumped

I had an check engine light come on for oxygen sensor and after swapping out the sensor the light stayed on till I had it cleared.

You van disconnect the - battery cable from the batery for a few minutes to clear codes .

God bless
