What makes you think it's an error code? The rear lamps are how the AC communicates to the pilot.
Both S switches should be all the way up when you are preparing to start the AC.
On my P2 series Phantoms (naza mode), a 3 red 1 green series of lamps would tell me the drone currently has 4 satellites or less locked into its system. It also tells me the GPS system is working although I don't have GPS yet due to inadequate satellites. It also tells me the AC senses the control signal. So this is all good info.
If the lamps change to 2 red and 1 green, I know I have 5 satellites locked. Still not enough for GPS.
If the lamps change to 1 red and 1 green, I can expect to see 20 quick green flashes next, indicating that the home point is set. And I know I now have GPS working since I have the minimum six satellites needed for GPS.
If the lamps change to 1 green (pause), and repeats, I know I have seven or more satellites.
If the 1 green above is ever 2 quick greens, it means the controller sticks are not centered. So this is what it usually looks like when you're flying and you have 7 or more satellites locked.
If the 1 green above is ever yellow, your S switch is in ATTI mode, where it shouldn't be unless you're already in the air and you're deliberately trying to fly without the help of GPS.
Everything above is for a P2 in Naza mode, but from your description, it sounds the same as a P1. I have never owned a P1.
Anyway, the flashing lamps are not showing errors. They're just giving you info.
Do the motors start? Start them without props the first time.
Have you calibrated the IMU and the compass? I would do those two things next.
Then fully charge your battery.
Then it's time for a test flight.
Good luck
