2 Flashes..........Flame out

3 Flashes..........Coolant flow

4 Flashes..........Overheat

5 Flashes..........Voltage

6 Flashes..........Flame sensor

7 Flashes..........Temp sensor

8 Flashes..........Fuel pump

9 Flashes..........Compressor

10 Flashes..........Ignition coil

11 Flashes..........Coolant pump

12 Flashes..........Blower
