Code 12??
Started the car from a really long sleep. Getting a code 12 from the check engine light. Tried to clear it and no go.
So...it has something to do with the ignition switch? Or abnormal start or something? Meh?

Re: Code 12??
I would also like to know the answer to this. I have had this code for a long time. I replaced the ignition switch but the code comes back.

Re: Code 12??
In the svxipedia of Earthworm's svx-iw website, it has a chart for the ECU Check Engine Error Codes and how to check them
http://www.svx-iw.com/svxiw/article/?article=78 Code 12 points towards the starter switch. .

Re: Code 12??
I think it means something in the circuit is going out, there is the actual ignition switch a relay for the alarm as well as a few other things, if you run the relay at the starter as documented

Re: Code 12??
I have no starter issue. I have the relay mode, new ignition switch and a new relay under the column. This code comes and goes maybe twice a year. I was just curious.
