Default Can someone with a chiltons post up the flash codes to numbers?

I have a flash, flash, pause, flash, flash code and since I don't have a chilton's for my vehicle I cannot convert the flashes and pauses to a code number. I tryed searching but all I can find is code numbers and what they pertain to, nothing about converting the flashes and pauses. I have a 94 s10 blazer engine W vortec and it would be great if someone would scan the flash code page or make a nice conversion chart.

I beleive they go FL FL P FL FL three times before it even gives you the code... And if there is more than one code, it will spit them our sequentually... Hold it there longer and listen.

It's flash, pause, flash, flash 3 times then it gives the code which was flash, flash, pause, flash, flash. God I wish my chiltons wasn't in mn! Please someone grab their chiltons and let me know what the code converts to as a number.

Um...

flash, pause, flash, flash == 12
flash, flash, pause, flash, flash == 22

You count the flashes between pauses. The OBD1 codes are two digits, XX. The # of flashes before the pause is the first X and the # after is the second X.

Check on troublecodes.net for what the code means.

Thanks swartlkk, that is exactly what I need to know, The flashes before the pause are the first number, and then the flashes after the pause are the second number. I didn't figure that out looking at troublecodes.net example of 12, stupid me.
