The only way to know for certain which flash you have is to have it read, or if you have the right code reader or tuner, read it yourself. The post the number up and someone who knows will tell you what you have.

There was a flash at some point, I believe it was the first inductive heating flash, that drew too much power from the FICM and could cause an already marginal one to fail. I don't know when they were putting that one out though.
