OBDII scanner as useful as tits on a Mars bar on these, apart from a bit of engine data on petrols. You need proper diagnostics.

SRS fault can often be caused by low battery voltage, it needs to be cleared with diagnostics. Traction fault is also sometimes due to low battery voltage. Not all cars had the emergency release cord for the fuel flap.
the cord may be there just there is mass of dis used wires to get through cup of tea time then gonna have look.also gonna need to replace drivers door trim panel coz clips aint holding it in place. One thing the garage did say to try first is connecting the 2 battery terminals together briefly he said that sometimes clears the display messages dont know how true this is ???

Disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes will cause a cold restart on the ECU's but it will not clear an SRS Fault. Personally I would not short the ends together.
Emergency fuel cap release only fitted to year 2000 vehicles and up. Not fitted before that.
cheers new switch fitted and working . Whilst taking the panels off to do switch i found a loose wire (yellow withgren stripe and a black one going into a white push on connector) just testes this wire and its live but cant fnd where it goes tried looking through wiring diagrams but must be blind . Any help on this would be much appreciated it coming from wiring loom that runs under steering wheel running horizontal its not that long so must connect somewhere nerby ?
It is the clutch pedal position switch connector for the manuals. Remeberised what it's for now.
