Flash Codes
Flash codes are used to represent diagnostic codes in the electronic system in order to alert the operator that a problem exists. The flash codes are a two digit number. A series of flashes represents the flash code on the diagnostic lamp.
EXAMPLE
Note: Flash code 27 would flash on the diagnostic lamp in the following manner.
- Two flashes
- Hesitation
- Seven flashes
Note: Flash codes can represent more than one diagnostic code. Make a note of all of the diagnostic codes that are represented by a particular flash code.
