[s-cars] warning light

[Tom Green]

Let's start at the beginning.  You did not mention the year/make/ 
model vehicle or
it's location.  There are significant differences in US  vehicles.  A  
'97 S6 may have
some of the newer sensors as options since I believe it uses the  
immobilizer key.

You could look at a later model vehicle that could contain the  
immobilizer warning
light and a description of its function in the owners manual.  It may  
just be the
system verifying correct operation if it is flashing just after  
start.  There is also an
alarm sensor for the car interior but it has a switch to turn it  
off.  It looks like a speaker
or sound wave with wire or a pine tree through the car profile.
