Yellow Engine Telltale light on

[F1ADAM]

Hello

I know there is going to be a plethora of information if i had the time to search for it, but i was wondering if someone could recommend (ideally from experience) a reasonably priced diagnostic reader from ebay or amazon.

As per the subject header, the yellow light has come on. Fortunately the car is not in limp mode.

Thanking you in advance.

I have a regular light coming on, annoyingly...

Exhaust Camshaft Sensor showing a reoccurring fault. I had the sensor changed about 4 weeks ago now and it was fine until the other day when it came on again...

The thing is there is nothing at all wrong with the car, according to the plug-in diag's everything is in order. Basically the fault is saying that the exhaust cam timing is out, and the car is fine. I wouldn't get very far if it was!!!

Has anyone ever heard about this problem?

I'm pretty sure thats the warning I got.

The 2 Fault codes registered were:

2A98 Crankshaft-inlet camshaft - NOT present
2A82 VANOS intake - NOT present

The car seems fine.

The same with my cat problem-1 error count,then no count-all the time its been running fine :roll:

The EML seems ultra sensitive on Zed's with most posters not noticing any loss of performance.

Indy said it may have been a problem from new! :roll:

I brought mine with the round pin plug on the left by the last coil plug disconnected so I plugged it in and the yellow engine light came on , unplugged it and it goes off, with no loss of performance, I saw wondering if I could fix it or is it a minefield?
