Let me guess...code 11? Seems to be by far the most common TCU error code.

ok really weird, i didnt pull up the codes yet, but yesterday, same flashing, then when i drive my speedometer bounces all over the place. I'll be doing 40 and it'll bounce to 30 to 0 back to 40 rapidly all over the place.

Yeah, that's your speed sensor failing. Soon your speedo will quit altogether.

16 is NOT the code. 16 flashes is a warnign that you need to PULL THE CODE. Go the the SVXipedia or the How-to documents to actually pull the code form the TCU, and then it will give you a real code.

Take my word for it. You know, let me just post what you have to do, so there is no further confusion.
If you start your SVX, and your power light flashes 16 times, that is a WARNING that is saying that the TCU is storing a code, but you still have to pull the code from the TCU. Heres what you need to do:
1. Warm up engine by driving at speeds greater than 12mph.
2. Stop vehicle and turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch ON and make sure POWER indicator lamp comes on.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Move selector lever to D and turn manual switch ON.
6. Turn ignition switch ON.
7. Move selector lever to "3" and turn manual switch OFF.
8. Move selector level to "2" and turn manual switch ON.
9. Move selector lever to "1" and turn manual switch OFF.
10. Partially depress accelerator pedal (to turn idle switch off).
11. Check code as displayed on POWER light. Blinking once every 1/4sec is normal.

Here are the possible codes:

11 Duty solenoid A
12 Duty solenoid B
13 Shift solenoid 3
14 Shift solenoid 2
15 Shift solenoid 1
21 ATF temp sensor
22 Atmospheric sensor
23 Engine revolution signal
24 Duty solenoid C
31 Throttle sensor
32 Vehicle speed sensor 1
33 Vehicle speed sensor 2
