Header tank cap tend to fail on these. Thermostat wont open before boiling point at atmospheric pressure, that’s for sure. Cap ensures it remains pressurised system.
Hmm.

And I’m self learned, not professional trained, I guess I do above the average professional diagnostician.

Don’t mind me saying I cannot follow your diagnostic strategy. I would follow other route, but guess it’s down to personal choice.

Re: Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 2010

I refer to the youtube video, where such test is done disabling engine starting. I see no point to deviate from the youtube test. Why run the engine, to me makes no sense.

Re: Waveform Library not working

No doubt this will be fixed soon.

Re: Unknown Protocol

Knorr bremse uses 5 V TI CAN in some of their modules.

Maybe someone can make head and tails of these, if indeed applicable:
