    Methods to get blink code (up to chassis no.5383302/D187233)
  To activate the Blink code press the diagnostic button, or if we have no button installed, it is necessary
to earth wire 5156 (pin 3 to pin 4) for at least 2 seconds with the ignition key off1 (in the picture below,the
ignition key was ”on”) to display the first error.

Repeat this operation (wire 5156 at earth) to display any other faults.

Connect a analogue voltmeter, or LED lamp between terminal 1 (5156) and the battery positive
terminal (ignition off),or pin 2 (ignition on) .
1
„ ignition key off „??? -from manual -

Two series of blinks of the EDC warning light, at intervals with a brief pause,will indicate the code of the
first error memorised.
Press the button again to move to the next error. Each time the last error is reached, the first one will be
repeated. The list of the errors contains all the errors memorised and not only the active ones.
The order in which the errors are shown is the one in which they occurred. To remove the error list from
the memory, proceed as follows:
— With the ignition key off, press the diagnostic button
— keeping the button pressed, switch the ignition on
— keep the button pressed for 5 seconds
— release the button
— Switch the ignition off.
 
Correct interpretation of the flashing will lead to identification of the number of the error code. In order to
do this, it is necessary to know that:
 
-the LED on for 1 second is equivalent to one unit.
-the LED on for 0.5 seconds is equivalent to decimal units.
The time that passes between each time that the LED goes on and the next is 0.5 seconds. If two or
more error codes should be detected, the time for which the LED remains off would be 2 seconds.
