Note for display field 1: 

Display field 1 is the most important. This indicates which system was checked via On Board Diagnostic (OBD) since the last time DTC memory was erased or a new control module was implemented. After DTC memory is erased, all testable values are set to 1, after the test is performed, the values are set to 0  .
