Following my annual cat converter MOT failure, I have been advised to look into the oxygen senosor and the ecu’s water sensor. Does anyone have an MX5 Tech diagnostic check device near Berkshire that I could come over to check?
I understand that it can read the oxygen sensor and would let me check to see if that is the reason.
I have ordered replacement parts for the two sensors that I will change over,but it would be good to know as well.
Thanks
What you put in, you'll get back ten fold

You could use a flash code test...it will tell you the same.

Re: MX5 Tech diagnostic-Berkshire
Thanks, I thought the diagnostic tool gives a realtime readout. I will check for fault codes when I get it back.

Re: MX5 Tech diagnostic-Berkshire
As recommended by our leader Mm.
I bought one.
It was easier than remembering to count and I kept running out of fingers.
Best bit of tech to have in the tool box or in my case in the glove box.

Re: MX5 Tech diagnostic-Berkshire
It will give a real time graph John, as a mending tool it is great, but I use it a lot, so for a one off check it is worth finding someone local to run through tests as you say..it's just a shame you are not local to me.

Re: MX5 Tech diagnostic-Berkshire
Just got the car back with a shiny new Cat. The fail results for the old cat were caused by the CO %vol only, around 0.54% to 0.76% on the various idle runs. Strangely the Lambda value was Ok at around 1.01-1.02. This kind of indicates that perhaps the O2 sensor is working correctly, is my thinking correct?
Anyway, as I said I have ordered new parts so I will get them fitted. ( I will do a LED check for any ECU faults as well.)

Re: MX5 Tech diagnostic-Berkshire
Hi,
Got the car back and tested with the good old LED.
I think I get
10, 14, 14, 13
I cannot see a code 13 in the docs anywhere.

Re: MX5 Tech diagnostic-Berkshire
I have just disconnected the battery and pressed the brake pedal for around 10secs to clear the ECU. However, even without starting I get 10 14 14 13, which doesn’t make sense to me. 
The good news is that the car runs fine, but eats cat converters every year.
I guess I will have to save up for a MX5 Tech diagnostic tool.
