    Disconnecting the negative battery terminal does not initialize (clear) the learned value.

    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (READY) and turn the intelligent tester on.
      NOTE: Check that the shift lever is in the P position and turn the power switch on (READY).
    3. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / HV ECU / DATA LIST. Read the data list before RESET MEMORY.
