Default Flashing green light

When I turn the jet on my ecu green light starts flashing as if its in slow down mode, trim is full low and switch is off. Nothing I do changes this im guessing I have an issue?
Its showing 105 on the temp but the engines is cold and hasnt ran since I flew it last at MS jets. It flashes 105 then -E- back and forth so maybe my temp prob is dorked?

That usually means there's a comm problem between the engine and ECU. Try a different black data cable.

What engine model? if it has an external temp sensor like P80 or p120..etc then most likely you have damaged the small silk that soldered in the temp probe connector board, open the front purple cover and inspect the sensor closely, if it was cut then carefully try to solder it again and do temp calibration again from the GSU, i had this issue in two of my engines and i have fixed them same way.

yes it has the external probe, I found the problem. The screw that holds the black plastic cover on which also holds the temp probe on came out and the temp probe was not connected. Thanks for the help

BTW the flashing green LED means the turbine is in auto cool down.

The ECU interprets a broken or missing EGT the same as high temperature. Hence the flashing green LED. Page 23 of the manual
