Not sure about the 20 part, but here's the list of codes from the '07 service manual...

These diagnostic codes are flashed by the wrench icon light incorporated within the speedometer/tachometer.
NOTE: On these double-digit codes (3-1, 3-2, etc.), the first number indicated will flash in an uninterrupted sequence, there will be a short pause, and the second number indicated will flash in an uninterrupted sequence.
-----------------------------------------

Number of Flashes

3-1

Stator failure
(input open or shorted).

3-2

(headlight/handwarmer).

3-3
(CCU Icon)
High power DC output shorted
