Correction - it is a 470-Ohm resistor NOT a diode used in the design.
Apologies.

I can see that. However here is my personal experience:
I rigged up something similar to what you describe including the 470
ohm resistor. For some reason it didn`t work to reset the oil service
light on my E30. A bit frustrated I just shorted the two pins with the
banana-end cable and repeated the procedure, and it worked! I can`t
understand what happened as I had checked the rigged cable with the
resistor, etc
