clear the twos (fails)
Are you looking for slang or something technically correct? Vehicle inspection (road worthiness) give 0 (pass) 1 (should be fixed) 2 (fail, must fixed). For 2s you get a specific date by which the problem must be fixed or you cannot drive the car (legally).

This will give you an idea. (https://www.carfax.se/kontrollera-bil/besiktningsprotokoll) 2s are the "Anmärkning med krav på efterkontroll"
Looks like I forgot the 3s (fail, Anmärkning som innebär körförbud). Never had one of those!!
