you can also go to your local auto parts store, i.e. advance auto or autozone, and they'll read your codes for free.

I tried to count the light but it just keeps fishing like I said. It comes in for like 2 sec then goes off for like 4 and just keeps going at the same pace. I don't know if it's cause it's chipped or what

Count them!!!! It's a pattern. Long blinks and short ones. Don't make it hard. Either that or post a video.

I will have to just post s video cause there isn't any sort ones and the pattern never changes. I have read a code like this before this one just keeps doing the same thing.

The code/s will repeat over and over with a long pause between them. Count the long and short blinks that comes with very short pauses. You may have multiple codes and may not see the pattern at once.
