Hi cruzazul11510, The ECU is equiped with self diagnostic unit located in engine compartment, near left strut assy. refer pix.

Insert test plug lead to #2 socket. Turn ignition switch on and press ACtivation button for 1-3 seconds. Observe LED by counting the number of flashes in 3 digit series. Let me know the code.

Hi cruzazul11510, Fault code 212 = Lamda sensor (equivalent to O2 sensor)

Remove rubber grommet to left of odometer. Using small screwdriver, press the reset button.
