YW,
Oh look, no decoder ring needed! I'm more thinking it's a reset under said conditions. I'd like to hear what they have to say, be it a bulletin, or you and I are not the only ones witnessing that and they may have an answer.
Play dumb and listen to their mumbo-jumbo, to just see if it makes sense. Since you understand the book, it has to follow some sequence, like a reset on the fly. Because you did not turn the engine off, and follow that other reset.
If you know the other reset, that has to do with some RAM and ROM happening. Meaning some RAM {yellow} is dumped to ground, others like who fired last when key is off, that next sequence to fire off is saved. This is I think an emission trick, called 'sequential fire.' Other RAM being dumped to ground [to empty the capacitors], would be something like a saved fuel demand, but never was fired off.
Therefore, you wouldn't save that large chunk of demand on cold start or warm. An example would be a plug chop, where you redline in 3r or 4th, then kill the engine. Sequence start remembers last fire, but key off at the chop won't send in a saved WOT demand. That was RAM saved before it was time for that cylinder to fire at said R-rpm. Thus, that kind of RAM is dumped to ground when key is off.
And that's where the story ends. Because the yellow brick road is just that. No, not about to turn into a brick when it blinks. It's the blinking and then shuts off is more what an EE would know, or a software writer could answer.
Because I'm guessing from there about rotational reset; coast [no throttle open< variable] thus the reset.
