The codes would come from either a code reader, should begin with a P and four digits (P0420). Or some have jumped the pins in the connector and count the flashes from the CEL or EML light.

 

Most places in USA there's car-part stores that will plug in a reader and tell you the error codes that are stored. Do they do that over there?

 

yeah like autozone, o'reilys, napa

 

would too much oil in engine cause the CEL to come on ?

Not sure, but it might. If it was very much overfilled, it might splash around & get more oil through the crankcase vent. That might give you something related to A/F ratio or maybe catalyst efficiency.

I think a couple mm high on the dipstick wouldn't be enough to do that.
