What Blue indicator light (FlameTrak)
actually means.
FlameTrak pairs each burner with a flame sensor and a safety valve. The blue light by the knob shows the state: it flashes while the igniter works and stays lit when the burner is burning. If the flame goes out, the safety valve closes the gas to that burner.

What to do when Blue indicator light (FlameTrak) shows on the grillKind of codeIgnition
The grill tried to start its fire and the controller never saw it take. On a pellet grill that is usually a hot rod burned out after hundreds of cooks, or a firepot full of ash so the new pellets smother; on a gas grill with electronic ignition it is a spark module, an electrode cracked or set too far from the burner, or a battery gone flat. Emptying the ash once the grill is cold and fitting a fresh battery are fair first steps; the hot rod and the module are a visit.
Usually leads toGrill igniter repair
No spark, a weak spark or a spark in the wrong place: the grill's battery module, piezo button, electrodes, wires and hot-surface igniters tested and fixed.
Shows up asGrill Error Code on a Pellet Controller or Digital Panel
A grill error code shows as letters and numbers on a pellet grill controller, a flashing light on a digital control panel, or an alert in the maker's app paired with the grill.

Lynx All-Trident grills with the FlameTrak safety system (LF36ATR and its F cart version), whose manual lists a 9-volt battery as backup for the ignition. The later L30ATR, L36ATR and L42ATR All-Trident guide does not describe this light.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Lynx's own guidance for Blue indicator light (FlameTrak) on its grills. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Keep the knob at LITE while the blue light flashes, and let go once it stays lit.
If the light keeps flashing and the burner does not light within five seconds, turn it off and wait five minutes.
Check the power and the 9-volt backup battery; if the light still never goes steady, book a visit to check the igniter and the flame sensor.
What not to do
A flashing blue light is part of lighting, not a warning by itself. A dark blue light on every knob means the grill has no power or its backup battery is flat.
