Reading the LED

If an error code is activated in the control module (Fig. 8, D) and
the LED (Fig. 8, A) is connected, it will fl ash a number of times. The
number of fl ashes will depend on what error was recorded. Each
fl ash will last 1/4 second and after the code is fl ashed there will be
a delay, then the code will repeat.
Write down all error codes; then refer to "Self-Test Diagnostic
Chart" in this section.
