  The DTCs for other inspection items may not be cleared when only a certain signal is inspected.

• When test mode (signal check mode) returns to normal mode, all the test mode (signal check mode) DTCs will be cleared.
• Operation of the tire pressure warning reset switch can be checked in test mode (signal check mode).
