I haven't run a test yet so it may all become clear when doing it but I was just wondering how you read the troubles codes when checking them?

the sticky says FLASH, pause, FLASH, FLASH = code 12, does that mean each flash is actually 4 blinks?

anybody got any insight?

well after searching the web a little bit more i found this

The trouble codes will appear as flashes of the check engine lamp. Be sure the ignition key is on, the engine off, and your foot off of the accelerator when reading the codes. Two different codes may appear: One-digit and two digit. One digit codes have an approximate 4.5 second delay between flashes with the check engine light illuminating for about a half of a second. Mulitiple codes have a 2.5 second delay between them. For example a code two flashes the check engine lamp two times in a little over one second: I I. If two codes are stored, such as a code two and a code four, the lamp may flash as such: ....I I....I I I I. Crude examples but you get the idea. Two digit codes are similar but will flash the lamp with the first number first and the second number last. An example of a code twleve is I ....II and a code twenty four is I I..IIII.

i found it on a toyota page of all places.

No, flash one time for each number.....flash flash(small pause) flash flash would mean 22...see what i mean.then after it flashes all codes it will pause then go back to flash(small pause) flash flash,which means starting over 12...pay very close att. to the test and dont be distracted or you WILL be doing it 2 or 3 times...lol
