Check Mode Procedure [12/2021 - ]

NOTE:

All of the stored DTCs and Freeze Frame Data are cleared if: 1) the ECM is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa; or 2) the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or off while in check mode. Before changing modes, always check for and note any DTCs and Freeze Frame Data.
