Interesting heater. A bit involved. Looks to have a hot surface gas igniter.
It also looks like it uses the same igniter to sense the flame.
Go to this link.
The site is in frames. I can't give the direct address.
Click on "installation instructions"
Click on upper "MG1" to download pdf manual.
Roughly around page 22 they discuss control boards. Several are used. You will need to identity yours. There is a yellow light discussed and it may be the one you see blinking. It's supposed to tell you if the flame sensor is sensing ok.

Ok. What was the flame sensor (yellow) LED doing ?
What code did the red LED display ?
You have a smart board there.
Cleaning a hot surface igniter doesn't usually change its surface resistance but can crack it.

The yellow light is flashing, never solid, the red light is solid, unit the unit cycles 4 times, then the red light flashes 4 times, indicating lock out, the igniter ohm out ok
