If the control detects the following failures, the LED will flash on for approximately 1/4 sec-
ond, then off for 3/4 second for designated failure detections.
1 Flash: Failed to detect flame within the four tries for ignition.
2 Flash: Pressure switch or induced draft blower problem detected.
3 Flash: High limit or auxiliary limit open.
