Just in case you have forgotten the OP didn't want to clear the

wanted to disable it!

Sorry I had misread that

Just so you understand that is not the same as clearing the code and
running diagnostics.

you aren't the only one to get it wrong, the rest will just
continue to deny it.

The first post in the thread made no mention of "disable" it just
said "reset" and "turn off" ....


Without bothering to fix any fault that may be there.


So if the fault still exists the warning lamp will come back on. Which
proves it's a real fault and not some spurious one off triggered event
from going over a pothole a bit fast last month.


Not if they fix it so it doesn't come on which is what the OP wanted.


Well it's easy to fix the light not to come on. Remove the bulb. That
will fail the bulb check.

Stopping the OEM ECU generating and storing the code requires a huge
skill set.

Easier to program a "PIC" chip or PI Atom to do the right light
sequence. So as he has a market of ONE (it would be very illegal to
sell), the OP now has to become an electronics and computing engineer.
