Brilliant news Mark. the OBC is no longer locking out the ECU for some reason.

the OBC is flashing because you need to enter the time & date.

the Owners Handbook will tell you how.

there should be a tiny recessed button at bottom right corner of OBC front panel. use a pen to push the button in. the OBC will stop flashing & you can enter the time of day in 24 hour clock numbers using the 1000 100 10 1 buttons. the date is entered mm/dd I think. when you have entered the data you push the recessed button again to get the OBC display back to normal.

good luck!
Philip

There's your possible answer - you may have managed to uncover / clean a sensor or two by doing your pressure wash in that area....
