Checking fault codes

Hi

The advice given for checking diagnostic fault codes   http://www.mx5oc.co.uk/forum/forums/t/204.aspx   states that “this may not work for models after 1995”. Any advice on how to carry out diagnostic checking on a 1997 Mk1 ? Fortunately no problems at present - just a query.

The caveat was because at the time of writing the FAQ I had no details available for cars post '97. My main knowledge base is with earlier Mk1s. Robbie may well comment when he sees this thread, but I think that the same criteria apply

Later cars use 4 digit “P-Zero” codes and I don’t know what sort of flash code they give out when interigated with an LED… When I get chance/remember I’ll have a go with one and report back.

Cheers Robbie. That’s dedication above and beyond!
