Car Fault Code Reader for MIL engine warning light?

Hi guys n girls.

I have just had the amber engine warning light come up on my k11 dash board and wondered if anyone on here had any luck diagnosing the same sort of problem with one of the cheap car fault readers you can get on Ebay?

Has anyone connected a Car Fault Code Reader MS309 Engine Scanner CAN OBD2 Diagnostic Tool to their micra k11 and has any success or a similar type code reader?
I thought I would just check as some of these code readers don't always work with every car model.

I have had this micra nearly 17 years and astonishingly, never had a problem with the engine/electrics/electronics. The amber engine light came on a few days ago but the car still runs perfectly and i have not done anything to the car lately except a general service a few months ago.

Many thanks for any feedback on this or any code reader.

O.k. Folks, thanks for the interest.

I tried as someone suggested disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes and it seems to haave cleared the engine warning light being on. Panic over..lol
 
I wouldn't worry about it, I had the light on mine for over two years - just took the bulb out in the end.
I've had the management light on in my van for 7 years ...runs fine.
