So today I was sitting in my car, and out of pure curiosity I did a stomp test just to see if it would work. Well it did; the check engine light started blinking and blinking and blinking, but nothing came up on the LCD display. I thought that at the very least there was some code that was a no fault code that should have came up? Am I wrong? Nothing is wrong with my car (as far as I can tell), so I didn't expect any fault codes to come up, but shouldnt something come up?

Thanks

you are supposed to count the short blinks, thats your code. the long blink seperates the codes.

Do 90s have this option?

it doesn't seem to work for every car.
but if you got it to flash codes, you need to learn how to read them - Jeff was right, count the flashes!
