My Check Engine warning light came on a few weeks ago on my 2001 2.0 petrol Sportage.
I could not find a suitable code reader to suit as the plug seems to be differant to all other modern cars, I found a vacuum pipe that had split which I guessed was the reason for the light but after fixing this the light was still on.
By pure chance I found out that by pulling out the ECU relay and then refitting it that this clears all the faults in the memory and the light has now gone out.
It would be nice to buy a Fault code reader that fits the sportage incase any future faults are not so easy to find.
Any one out there have any idea of who sells one ?
