The first digit of each code is blinks slow, followed by a short pause, quick blinks for second digit, short pause, qu Ick blinks for third digit, short pause, and quick blinks for final digit. If more than one code is stored, the computer would blink each in numerical succession until did (it starts over at that P oint).

Couple of notes on the blinking ...

---Ten blinks for any digit = ' 0 ', zero
---Code ' 0000 ' means all clear
---Add a ' P ' in front of the code number when searching for results
