AFAIK Inserting the fuse just tells the TCU to set the duty cycle to 95%. If the problem is still detected, then the light will still flash.

To be absolutely precise for you: If we assume the signal indicates "closed/not closed", then the error condion is that (a) The solenoid is energised but the signal says "closed", or (b) The solenoid is not energised and the signal says "not closed". Obviously if the signal indicates "open/not open" then the opposite applies.

Sadly Phil, you are confirming my suspicion that the claims made within the manuals, may have originated via the sales department.

If you uncover any more clues, please keep this posted as the matter is quite important and can lead towards frustration in fault finding. Your reasearch is much valued and very worthwhile.
