Hi carlos1234,

If the blink is a prolonged blink, it is a Code 10, a fault with the air intake temperature sensor locate on the intake manifold on driver side.

When the SCS is bridged and ignition switch turned on, the CEL should stay illuminated without any blinks if no codes are present.

Under above conditions, if the SCS is not connected and CEL stays illuminated while driving, most probably the ECU is bad. Check the ground circuit at the thermostat housing for looseness or contaminations. Improper ground connections can caused the symptoms described.
