if the code flashes once, pauses then flashes twice, just ignore this as its the code for the diagnostic check

mine started doing this earlier today, i thought "oh balls"...but after reading this, its probably nothing to worry about.
The small orange light flashed up for about 5 seconds (ish) then went out, did it about 2-3 times in the space of an hour, is this the diagnostic check?
