Trane XR90 – What does the blinking red light mean?

Unfortunately, the user manual of the Trane XR90 furnace offers no explanation of  what the blinking light means that can be seen behind a small hole in the bottom front panel of this high-efficiency gas furnace.

The codes are explained on a wiring diagram that is glued to the back of the panel.
