We had the eml light come on apx a week ago , car ran fine & did a 300+ mile journey with no issues , today the eml light has now gone out . I was thinking this could be related to apx 6 months ago we had a eml light come on & was diagnosed as faulty catalytic converter , the warranty people asked for more tests but in the meantime the eml light went out so garage said see how you go ,if it reappears bring it back , which we did .
The car is a Ford focus 1.0 if it helps , I’m assuming even though eml light has gone out , the issue would still be recorded ?

A bluetooth code reader (and the free Torque app) is quite cheap off amazon and can be useful for the high level stuff.

I had a similar engine which had a faulty cat sensor which brought on an EML that disappeared when a garage unplugged it. But think they said later cars that unplugging would display an EML whereas on the version I had it didn't display an EML but did show a fault code on a reader. So I'd expect it to show up on that as a historic/present fault even if it's not sufficient enough to trigger an EML on the dash.
