i have a code 12 on my chevy astro van what it means
it means everything is fine, code 12 denotes that system is operating fine...
Code 12 is just confirming that the computer is working. This code alone should always show when you test it.
That code means that the computer system checks NORMAL. Unless there is other codes present after it flashes code 12 It will always flash code 12 FIRST.
Code 12 means system is okay, as long as there are no other codes after #12 If there are more codes then when it is done checking the system it will return back to code 12 meaning test is done,
Code 12 is a period It flashes when the codes start and end so you will see code 12 usually three times, then the codes you need to fix then code 12 three time and the codes you need to fix will repeat and so on.
Code 12 just means that the ECM is going into diagnostic mode, this is NOT a trouble code! Code 12 should blink a couple of times pause then blink your trouble codes if you have any. If you have no trouble codes, it will resume to blink code 12 again.
That code will flash whenever the diagnostic terminal is grounded with the ignition turned on and engine is not running. If there is additional trouble codes stored in the ECM they will appear after code 12 has flashed 3 times. If you have no other codes that flash. Then code 12 means system is okay and no codes presant.
