Default engine light flashing at boost!

hey guys,
uk wrx bugeye with BRD-ecutek remap.... no problems for few yrs.

for the past couple of weeks ive been driving on motorways 3-4 times for 1 hour drives. 4 out of 5 time the engine light flashes when i boot it on top gear from 70mph onwards to 95ish.
Last night when reached 90ish it flashed about 7 times lasting about 10 seconds. No lights on knocklink. Engine light keeps flashing even i let go gas! 5 minutes later i tried again and same thing happens, flashed 6-8 times.

Engine light dont stay on. I plugged it OBD2 this morning and shows nothing.

Anyone can give me some info on this?
Is there any worries?

cheers in advance.
mike

Probably misfire codes being read by ECU...how old are the plugs? Best just go dealer or use secs monitor to read the ecu fault codes and then you'll know for sure what it is...

My 2L went through what you're seeing but I knew instantly as my secs monitor gave me the codes.
