re. Car runs too cool/intermittant autocheck annoyances

[Ben Swann]

The reason why I recommended doing this at the computer is that somettimes I 
have gone through the aggravation of shorting the wire at the sensors on 
both sides, yet still have the light go on.  The only resolution was to do 
this at the computer and bypass the very sensitive low voltage wiring.
