flash codes

i used my toyota cynos 1991 for this practical and my tutor provided the manual with the flash codes. my tutor created a fault in the engine and using the check engine light flashes as an indicator i was to find the problem and fix it. the check engine light should remain on when the car is turned on and engine not running.
once engine is started and the check engine light remains on, the diagnosis system has detected and error in the system.
I opened the diagnostic plug located under the bonnet and jumped/bridged terminals E1 and TE1. Using the table below as reference, the fault code was 31( the check light flashed 3 times then 1 time).this means the was an error in the vacuum sensor circuit.My tutor had unplugged it. i pushed it back in and cleared the fault code by disconnecting the battery negative terminal for half a minute. The check engine light did not come on so i had diagnosed the fault.
