Reply to "Lionel Centipede: Disappointed"

I just fired up my UP Centipede (luckily no physical damage) and the cab light blinked 3 times. Man, was I scared. I consulted the manual and it said if there are 3 blinks then there is a problem with the front smoke fan. Sure enough there was no smoke coming from the front fan of the lead unit. I was like man I don't want to send in my UP for service!!! I followed the manual's instruction and reset the locomotive and that didn't help and the cab still blinked three times. I next shut down the entire track power and powered it back up. To my surprise the front smoke unit "magically" fired up and the blinking cab lights went away!!! Woo hoo! So happy. Mike Reagon, can you chime in on why that is or was? Was it simply a software issue that just needed a hard reset or am I just experiencing a temporary fix?
