Default OBD fault code reader reading fault or allowing reset

I've just purchased a fault code reader from ebay (see pic) and when connecting it the display shows a single fault.

However, when I try to view the fault, or clear the fault, neither of these options work.

I wondered, therefore, whether the fault (which has caused the Check Light to come on) might not be one I can reset, as I've read that not every code or fault can be cleared by these units?

My car's a petrol 1.6 XS V40 X reg 2000 ph2 model.

Any suggestions or thoughts appreciated as I don't think it's the fault code reader that's broken.
