The ecu code is usually where the multiplug is. If you take the grommet off from the engine bay you should be able to see it.

If the ecu is still in the car, the code can only be seen from the engine bay. Theres the rubber grommet which seals the ecu on the top right hand corner of the bay with 2 nuts. If you undo those and pull off the grommet you should be able to see the code.
