Can't erase trouble codes 94 z28

I bought an innovia 3120 b(for obd1 and 2) and pulled 8 codes. I fixed the exhaust leak and replaced the 02 sensor, figuring that should take care of 4 out of 8 codes. Pulled PCM batt fuse , discon Batt cables, even tried holding pos and neg together with key on waiting for an hour. I read codes off obd2 car thinking the 3120 was maybe holding the codes from the last reading and tried all again and still all 8 codes ? What gives here ? Any help pls. Thanks in advance.

Re: Can't erase trouble codes 94 z28

Removing the PCM BAT fuse for 30 seconds ought to do it. Are you sure you are operating the scanner correctly? What codes are we talking about? I actually have little confidence in the Innova scanners after reading multiple threads of people having odd troubles with them.

Just like some others have gotten, 54 is not even a valid code for our cars. I'd try another scanning solution.
