I was hoping to use the DDT2000 to tell me why it says "check parking brake" ...the parking brake works (though does not auto release...which I guess is why I have the error - but looking for more clues). Failing getting to the bottom of the problem I'd like to reset the dashboard warning message just for long enough for the MOT test (MOT centres will now fail a car relating to dashboard warning messages nowadays...but when I paid them £25 to reset it at the last MOT it lasted a few miles before coming back on, hence wanting to reset this message just prior to going into the MOT test facility!)

I've since got DDT2000 working with the associated cheap blue ebay cable I bought - but it didn't trap any alarms when connected to my ....I've run out of daylight today, so will have a dabble tomorrow.

What status should the car be in to connect up DDT & cable to diagnose? (e.g. key in, start pressed but engine off? or does the engine have to be running?)
