WWD flashing Red

I just installed the mp40w tonight and the pump starts up and runs for a few seconds and then the driver just flashes red. Nothing in the book tells you what a red flash is. Please help

Hold down mode (pump blinks white)
Hold down mode/set (pump blinks yellow/white)
Cycle power to the pump by unplugging and replugging it in.

Somehow you programmed the pump's calibration sequence for auto-disconnect while the pump was attached to the tank and this is the result. The pump must be run in your hand for the auto-disconnect calibration sequence or else this will happen every time. The process above will clear out the calibration.

Pump ran great last night. Second pump has been running for 4 days now with no problems. Now this pump is flashing red/yellow. I have tried to unplug it and and plug back in and it won't stay running. Alignment is good and the motor is not hot. I have it running slave to the other on yellow setting. Any help now?

It is flashing red/orange. I took a closer look at that is the colours. Do I need to send this pump back?

THANK YOU!! One of my pumps would go into auto-disconnect mode on ANY mode besides short/long pulse. I tried swapping master/slave around, moving the modules closer, etc. Nothing worked until I cleared this calibration.

Should be in the user manual for sure!!!
