Blinking Check Engine Light
Started my rex yesterday and low and behold the check engine light was blinking. Got ahold of the dealer and they said bring it in and they would pull the codes. Well, I get to the dealer and the light goes out...they try to pull the codes and they can't get any from the ecu. They send me on my way and tell me that there is nothing wrong with my baby. I drive the car home without the light on and park the car for the night. I go to start the car today and the light is back on. what gives?

My RS did the same thing. No stored codes. I tend to agree with the missfire statement. Mine blinked 4 times then shut off. I also got a code for fuel trim malfunction a month or so ago. I think I have a bad injector or something like that.

Exactly how was your light blinking? Was it blinking with a regular rhythm or were the flashes erratic? Was it blinking once a second or three times a second?

When I got to the dealer the first time the light went out on its own and they couldn't pull any codes. It happened the next day and I got to the dealer with the light still blinking fast (about 2x's a second). They tried to pull codes and couldn't. After several hours they determined that there is a short somewhere in the wiring harness between the connector for the scan tool and the ecu. Need to leave the car so they can trace exact short location.
