Do a pedal test to flash the code.

Post cat lambda sensor then. The readings do nothing for the mixture (hence it runs fine) but its to check the cat is there/working and will trip the light if its faulty

the pedal test to flash the fault codes.
IGN off
both brake and throttle pedal down.
turn the ign on-lights will now show (keeping pedals down)
Then the EML will go through a sequence of flashes.Count them.
Google it and its been covered infinite times,you will also find the codes online too.
