1. I used Search and found a list of blink/fault codes. The author of the post with this list indicated that he was not sure that it applied to W126 cars. This is why I was looking for a confirmation what a 17 blink code means . 2. After reading many posts on this forum about various FAULT codes found after a CE light being on, it is apparent that the experience of many owners is that after clearing the code, the problem never repeats itself. 3. The intelligent move is to find out WHY my CE/Diagnostics Module has detected a FAULT. That is why I asked for HELP interpreting the 17 blink code for my model car and what the meaning of that FAULT is . If you think my question is frivolous or not worthy of your consideration, then just don't get involved.
