The Check Engine light will illuminate when the ECU storesa trouble code.

Counting the Flashes

To retrieve trouble codes, turn the ignition key to the “on”position with the engine off.86-89 models:The ECU will flash many short blinks. The total number ofblinks equals the code number. For example, 12 short blinks equals code 12,nine short blinks equals code 9, etc.. If more than one code is stored, theECU will flash the codes in sequence (lowest to highest) with a pause betweeneach code. The codes will repeat until the key is turned to the OFF position.90-94 models:The ECU will flash a long blink to represent the first digitof the code, then a series of short blinks to represent the second digit.For example, 1 long blink, followed by 4 short blinks equals code 14. Fourlong blinks followed by five short blinks equals code 45.
NOTE: Legend Models: If code 7 or 17 is stored and the S4 light onthe transaxle indicator panel is also flashing, it may be necessary to diagnosethe automatic transaxle control unit.
