Is P0015 specific to the Toyota 4Runner?

The definition here is taken from 2014 Toyota 4Runner (N280) factory diagnostic data. The same code may appear on other Toyota models, but the affected module and exact criteria can differ between platforms.

Can I clear P0015 without fixing it?

You can clear it, but if the underlying fault is still present the 4Runner will reset the code on the next drive cycle that runs the relevant monitor. Diagnose the cause first.

Will a generic OBD-II reader show P0015?

Most generic readers show powertrain (P) codes, but Toyota-enhanced data (e.g. a Techstream-class tool) gives the full freeze-frame and live data needed to diagnose it properly.
