Check engine blinks about every one-half second it no longer pauses, just blinks until ignition is turned off?

Using OBD1, assume properly connected and rechecked and retested more than once giving the same result, which is: Check engine blinks about every 1/2 second. No longer pauses, just blinks until ignition is turned off. What does this type of result indicate?

Thanks,

Hi,

A constant flashing when testing for codes indicates there are none stored. That is usually an indicator of a mechanical fault and not an electrical one.

What is the truck doing?

Also, here is a link that explains how to test for codes on this truck. Confirm this is what you are doing.
