I was going off what Dean Brasseur said in this video:

If I understood Dean correctly, he said that starting with the Big Boy in 2014, which had the RCMC-C00 board, the codes changed, and 3 flashes = main smoke thermistor.
If so, maybe Jay should check out the smoke unit thermistor.

Odd that the manual would not say that if that were the case. Pretty sure the three blinks are the fan. The VL-BB was a unique case as it has more smoke units than most locomotives.

In addition, I have two of the Lionel Legacy U30C engines, and I can assure you with 100% certainty that three flashes are the smoke motor, I've replaced them in both of mine!

Maybe if you don't know for sure, you shouldn't lead the poor guy down the wrong path!
