Flashing cantrail light on 395

EM2 said:

While waiting for a train today, I was stood on the concourse and, looking though the glass, watched another service come in.
As it was pulling in to the platform, I noticed that one of the cantrail lights was flashing. It was formed of 2x395, and the light in question was on the rear coach of the leading unit.
When it was stopped, I couldn't see the 'offending' coach, but the other lights that I could see came on as usual, the doors opened and closed as usual, the lights went off as usual and the train left as usual.
So what would cause a cantrail light to flash?

Is it standard on all stock for a coach with an activated passcomm to have the hazard light flash or is it confined to stock manufactured by Hiatchi?

Spoiler, it doesn't

If you get a passcom activation on a Mk3 get running pronto. If you can't find it before all the air has drained from the valve then you have a slow walk!
