To understand this card, you have to be familiar with the steps of activation. It's a little confusing, but the "check stress" step specifically refers to when you've completed a maneuver and either remove stress for performing a green maneuver or add a stress for a red maneuver (and also possibly add a stress if your maneuver overlaps debris).

You do have to pay attention to your ship's stress, since they can't perform red maneuvers when stressed, but that's not formally the check stress step.
