I sincerely doubt you searched, because pulling engine codes is a basic FD topic....

The procedure for checking codes is also in Section F of the Factory Service Manual, which can be downloaded for free from the stickied thread.

replace it with a mazda federal non Cali ECU. it will not look for the electronic switch and your light problem will be gone. I had the same problem after paying to replace the EGR valve. same problem came back. post in the for sale section and you will find one for cheep

theirs a non cali 5speed ecu in the for sale section for $50.00 by goodfellaFD3s.this should get rid of the check engine light code 16 and still keep the egr working.
