I am not on my home pc otherwise I would have posted a link.
Use the search function for ecu fault codes.
Then using the instructions you shoud be able to find the problem.
Your engine check light will flash in morse code, once the 2 black connector are connected. Then you wil be able to trace the faulty sensor etc & replace.
I will try to post the link later.
