Estate Swing Simple Diagnostics Diagnostics using the Power light on your Master Control Board. The P light has a diagnostic function. There are 4 statuses. 1. Steady light indicating main power is ON and the battery is charged 2. Flashing slowly (lights every second) indicates no main power but the battery is charged.
