(ii) The person fails to take a rolling retest when prompted to do so by the BAIID. (h) "Service" means all of the following: (i) Calibrate a BAIID. (ii) Maintain a BAIID. (iii) Download data from a BAIID. (iv) Inspect a BAIID for evidence of tampering or circumventing. (v) Invalidate any override for the BAIID previously provided by the manufacturer, installer, or service provider to the driver or on behalf of the driver.

This subdivision does not apply if a passing test is provided within 15 minutes of the initial start-up test.
