Default HELP CEL AND ECU!!!!

ok, my CEL came on, on my way home tonight. i got it parked, left it running and pulled up my carpet. looked at the lcd light on my ECU. it blinked a 1 SHORT then paused then 20 SHORT in a row. is it throwing me engine code 1 and 20? of the list shown here?

since the long flash designates the first number (i.e. the 1 in 10, the 2 in 23, the 3 in 38) and the short flash designates the second number (i.e. the 2 in 12, the 5 in 15, or the 4 in 24) it doesn't really seem to make sense that your ECU should ever blink 20 short; It should instead blink 2 long to signal a code 20. Double check your ECU.

the one short blink is the POST of the ecu itself, thats normal.

the 20 short? i doubt that. gotta double check it, if all else fails, pull the hazard fuse for about 5 minutes to reset the ecu and just pray.
