This holds all the refined running adjustments and the memory, so pull this to clear it, this has the added advantage of clearing a wrong learnt value due to a dodgy sensor.
Having a fault code will NOT alter emissions as it works from the base map when there is a change due to sensor change.
It MAY not even have flagged a fault code anyway, unless way out of sync, if it was still within running parameters no fault will have been detected, this is the problem with ECU fault reporting, and the dire lack of diagnostic skills taught these days.
If there is no fuse marked KAM, then just disconnect the battery for 5 minutes is plenty.

will have a look fella.
reason i reckon a code was given was the fact mot guy said it was off the scale, fitted a new sensor and he said it was worse.

still took it somewhere else and they got it right down, they reckon it could be the exhaust as i welded a hole up in it to get it through mot as not got cash till next month to get one.
