Default Does a bugeye have?

Does the bugeye have self diagnoses wires under the dash like a classic or can you check fault codes via the odb2 socket?
Only asking as my engine mangment light came on thismorning on way to work and like to check for faults before i drive anywhere else.

Cheers Wiggy

yup front lambda sensor has failed.
you get to it through a flap in the front wheel arch liner. pain in the *** to get out as they are tight.
make sure you replace it with a genuine denso one the cheapies are rubbish

i got mine from ebay, just make sure its got the correct wiring plug and its genuine denso, the plug is on the inner wing on the drivers side.
its a proper pain to get out, i took my car to the local garage to get them to undo it as i couldnt shift it it was so tight, it needed the car in the air on a ramp and a breaker bar to get it out.
