Can someone confirm where a fault reader connects to diagnose / reset faults. I have had the 0420/0430 emission fault codes come up a couple of times now in the past 9 months (most recently after my mate kindly dumped some cheapo tesco fuel in it after borrowing the car for the weekend). Usually I put BP Ultimate in the tank and I don't have a problem.

I know these codes are not critical (the Mig passed its MOT on emissions with flying colours with the light up last month) but on that occasion the Engine Management Light was on for a couple of weeks and it drove me mad. I've now ordered a fault code reader so that I can reset rather than wait for it to reset as I'm worried that the "lamp on" masks other possible faults.

I know there is a fix for this by relocating the sensors but I'd rather put up with it and reset when necessary. Given the value of Migs now, replacing the Cats and or sensors is not an option as it rapidly takes the old girl into right off territory.

Thanks for that. I couldn't find any reference to this connection in the manual but guessed it might be somewhere near the fuses or perhaps the ECU but it was too dark to look last night.
