From memory you should be able to pull the code from it. Try googling and see if you can find the trouble code extraction method.

Happened with mine at highway speed - no obvious reason or change of performance. Auto sparky checked it and once the oxygen sensor was replaced no more "engine" light on.

Sounds like your motor has just come out of the desert with a huge thirst. I get around 400 - 450 kms per tank (~45 litres) out of mine in 2WD on tarmac. Its a SV420 and I'm running 225/70/16 MT tyres.
