Reading CEL flash codes

I checked my codes today and the CEL flashed in the following sequence:

10 long
pause
1 short
pause
1 short
pause
3 short
pause

All the pauses seem the same length so I am not sure how to read the codes. I thought they were P1000, P0001, P0001, and P0003 but I could not find those in the list of codes. These non-existent ones are all close to the ones that point to MAF though.

Does anyone know what these codes are?
TIA

Thanks, I am aware of that but I would like to be able to read the codes myself at the convenience of my own driveway, especially since the car already has that feature.
Anyone else?

Thanks Boris!
After you posted the code I realized that the flashes are read differently from the 4th gen (duh) so I read the part in the FSM that I had skipped before. Anyways, thanks to you I will know how to read codes from now on! Thanks, spasibo, hvala, etc...

Thanks NmexMAX for the info! What happened to me is the exact same thing that Epacy writes about in this post - http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...9&postcount=23. I doubt it's the harness that FSM is talking about. I still have the 6N200 MAF, so I am going to put it back in to try to get rid of the CEL and then go to the dealership and have the ECU reprogrammed, then put the 2Y001 in agin to see if it will work OK.
