Default sys flashing...code?

Hey fellas i have a 95 lt1 6 speed with about 81,000 miles...i went to take it out for a blast today and i noticed sys flashing every 20 seconds 3 times and then goes back to displaying the mileage. i had the car 4 years and never had any trouble, never seen a code before. I noticed the last 2 times that i started the car the battery sounds like its on the way out..Just want to know what code means...thanks fellas

9 times out of 10 it's a battery going bad, the other time it's usually something related to electrical stuff like if you put a new stereo in or something like that.

Check the voltage reading at the battery. Insert a paper clip in terminal 4 and 12 on the ALDL and turn the key "on". This will display codes where the SYS light flashes. Jot the codes down and post them here for help.

The statements above are usually true.
