Note on display zone 1: 

Display zone 1 is the most important. This display indicates which system has been checked by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) since the last time the DTC memory was erased or since installation of a new control module. After erasing the DTC memory, all testable values are set to "1" and then to "0" after successful completion of the test.
