the ecu light comes on when a sensor isnt happy with something

the car sounds fine, whe i turn mine on it sits at 1200 and drops to 800 once warmed.
ECU light won't come on if the car needs a service, it'll be a sensor, try and find out what the fault it from the ECU

think i'm totally wrong here but if you pull one sensor out at a time and "bridge" it wont you be able to find a fault rather than the paperlip test?
obviously just a faulty sensor if the cars running ok??
