A fast ash may indicate that the
display has been on for the
maximum allowable time during a
reverse cycle, or the display
has reached an Over

conditions. Once conditions
return to normal the device will
reset and the green indicator will
stop ashing.
During any of these fault conditions,
the display will be blank and the
indicator will continue to ash as long
as the vehicle is in R (Reverse) or
until the conditions return to normal.
