Not to mention if you dont' know the code you can simply Google it and find the most likely symptoms and basic diagnosis instructions FOR FREE.
3. Adding this feature will just have people that don't know what they are talking about argue with mechanics like they know what they are talking about. It won't do a thing to stop dishonest mechanics as it isn't that hard to pull a wire and make another sensor fail. They will find a way to still generate the income(see all the new fees in the banking industry if you don't belive me)
4. It will just make cars cost more and do nothing more. All the info is already out there. If people are too lazy to seach for it that is on them.

I will not sign it.

Makes me hate my job
