The paper clip test basically just shorts the 2 connections in the diagnostics port allowing the engine management light to iluminate on the dash, just stick it in the right terminals then read the flashes off from the EM light eg 1 flash pause then 2 flahes is code 12 i think and so on, www.topbuzz.co.uk will tell u how to read the codes(flashes) n what they resemble hopr this helps
