If your check engine light wasn't on, then you should get only one flash.

The LED button is only hooked up to fault codes related to smog emissions. Nothing else.

'93-'95 W124's arent OBDII compliant, but they actually store all the codes that OBDII provides, but in a different way.

Arthur Dalton has posted on how to make a simple tool that allows you to get codes from all of the other sockets.

I got one, and checked codes, and found codes stored in socket 8 or 14. One code for a bad brake light switch, and one code for a fault related to the throttle actuator.

The code for the actuator was probably stored way back when I changed the throttle actuator, and I ended up having the brake light switch replaced this past Saturday.

I cleared the codes with the tool.
