Its 3 ons and 2 offs (on, off, on, off, on.), then cycle once for each
additional code (on the '97s)
http://www.cs.fredonia.edu/~stei0302/WWW/DAKOTA/codes/ has a full
explanation about how to do it; the procedure is different on the '97s than
on the older Daks.
You probably should have disconnected the negative battery cable while
you were working on the TB. I have a feeling that if you disconnect the
cable for a few minutes, the code will go away and stay away. You might
want to read the code anyway, just so you know what it is, in case it goes
away then comes back after disconnecting the battery.
