The work was done by a mechanic prior to its MOT. I do not know if he did anything to the ECU.

I did suggest a leaking inlet manifold gasket or similar in the 4th post of the thread.

Glad you've got it sorted but order a new manifold gasket NOW and you might have it before the seal fails.

Just tried that and it worked!

Sensor light came on after a leak in the inlet manifold gasket had been sorted. The car had that job done before being put through its MOT, which it passed and emissions were fine.

Removed the fuse, waited 20s, replaced fuse, started car, no sensor light showing.

The mechanic doing the MOT has said since the car passed the emissions test that the senor was "confused", which I thought was a nice way of putting it.


that is the reset of the ECU ;-)

good night, Kay
