Just pondering after reading another post about the paperclip test, could the useless trafficmaster button be rewired to the back of pins 4&6 of the diag socket to give a test button?
My thinking is its a push to make switch so would just need to be held in to activate the test.
I seem to recall when I had the radio out i disconnected a trafficmaster adapter loom with a couple of wires leading up towards the button so these should be fine.
So how do I get behind the fuse panel to connect, easy job or half the interior out to do it?
Hmmm might have a play tomorrow, Jaime is always telling people to run a paperclip test regularly.
This would make it simple, and finally find a use for that stupid button.
Anyone see any reason not to try this?

Good idea. But I just wouldn't fancy having two pins in the diagnostic socket shorted out all the time. Especially as its only a two minute job anyway :-/

Now, if you could get Mrs Robot to read out the fault codes, that would be neat

Make her do both...... 'You are near M40 Southbound, severe delay, avoid oh and your crank sensor is stuffed so your going nowhere anyway'

Won't be shorted out all the time if its put through a push to make switch, only when you push it like a door bell does.
