Is C1297 specific to the Toyota Highlander?

The definition here is taken from 2014 Toyota Highlander (XU50) 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 C1297 without fixing it?

You can clear it, but if the underlying fault is still present the Highlander 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 C1297?

Often not — C-codes are manufacturer-specific and usually require a scan tool with Toyota-enhanced coverage such as a Techstream-class tool.
