If its registered a fault that you can see with the dash in diagnostic mode then you can clear it with the trip reset button can't you ?

 

[Harry_manback]

eh?

explain please pal?

 

[bmh.01]

If you put the dash into diagnostic mode, by holding the trip computer button and turning the ignition on, you can page through the trip comp menus and it shows what faults have been registered on a basic level.
I'm sure I read somewhere that if you press the trip reset button then it clears the fault until something causes it to recoccur.
