Blinking vs steady CEL

Registered User
Generally, in OBD ll, a steady light is an indication that although there is a fault of some sort, immediate attention is not required.
A flashing light means that the fault is so dire, that the machine should not be operated further until repair has been made, or serious damage may occur.

Usually a blinking CEL is something that will effect emissions CAL spec, usually a severe misfire that can cause un-burnt fuel to enter the catalyst and cause a melt down of the catalyst
