    Error code reading by counting the number of times the indicator light underneath the e-bx flashes If there is an error, the green indicator light underneath the e-bx can indicate certain error codes. The error is shown with a two-second pause separating the very first flash and the second flash. During this pause, the light is off. When the light starts flashing, count the number of times it flashes before the light turns off again for another two-second pause.
