(and i stopped after that, because i felt it was just repeating...so would you be able to tell me what error code this is reading out and what it means, thanks for your help.

 

You need to do better than that. Your light will blink once hesitate then blink twice this is a code 12 it will do it 3 times. this means it is entering the diagnostic mode. Then you will get the trouble codes. The light will blink a number of times rapidly, this is the first number of the code. then it will blink again either once for 1 or several more times for another number. It will repeat each code 3 times then after all the codes are read, it will blink a number 12 3 times again ( exiting diagnostic mode)
example: blink- blink blink ( #12 3 times)
" blink blink blink - blink (trouble code 31 3 times)
if thats all the codes you have, it will blink a #12 3 times
(exit diag. mode) It will give you all codes 3 times. Take a pencil with you to help keep track while your doing it to help keep track. If you don't have a code book, get back to me with the #'s and i"ll give you the code problems.
