What year is it? Every OBD II I've worked on if the light was flashing it indicates a misfire.

Don't know anything about OBD I, sorry. Someone with a Factory Service Manual may be able to help.

The real question is, do ODBI/early trackick engine CEL lights flash at all as a warning sign? Might've plugged something in wrong or have a faulty connection due to corrosion or something somewhere. Does it run good?

Tell him too take out the driver side speker in the front and flip the toggle switch by the colum.

If it was the switch, it would be on all the time.  I'm guessing it's something else - I've never seen the CEL flash on any of my OBD I Kicks.

Mine flashed for a few miles (like 10-20) before hitting one of the service intervals (when Suzuki "did not" program the light to come on. At least that is what the Service Department told me ::)
