The CEL will blink at a kinda fast rate then it will pause. Thats your first number. Then another set will blink and thats your second number. It will pause after that then that is your next number and so on. It will end all the codes with 55.

coun the blinks between pauses. SHot pauses are breaks between numbers in a code, long pauses are breaks between codes
like blink (.pause.) blink blink (....pause....) blink blink blink blink blink (.pause.) blink blink blink blink blink (nothing)
would be 12, 55
u understand bro?
