It's an 04, you can't do the paper clip test.

You can however, flash the codes out by following my post above.

Try this:

Ignition off
foot flat on accelerator
other foot hard on the brake

keep both pedals pressed

turn ignition to no2 (DO NOT START ENGINE)

the warning light should flash a code out or display the fault code on the mileage display.

whats the situation when the light comes on? accelerating? sat in traffic? etc.. fault codes is a good start but dont trust fault codes alone. mine threw up lambda when it was actually MAF..
