CEL Flashing When In ACC Power

Nothing I'm too worried about.... It's pulling codes for the cat (removed), and secondary air injection (air pump? also removed). Engine feels fine, BHR ignition within 10,000 miles.

Anyways, sometimes when I have the key in the ignition, with it in accessory power, the light will blink a couple times then stop. It doesn't do it when running, only in ACC. Anybody know why it does that? Used a cursory Google search, didn't see anything on the first few pages.

That means you have pending codes... Likely what you're mentioned above that's been cleared but not resolved.

mine does the same thing. The funny thing is that it is showing me P0420 as the 'current' code and p0420 as the 'stored' code lol. Clearly the ECU really wants us to have cats
