According to Haynes Repair manual, fault code 12 (1 flash, pause, 2 flashes from check engine light) means 'Memory standby power lost'.

In other words, the battery has been disconnected recently. Not usually indicative of a problem, unless your battery hasn't been disconnected recently. Then you might want to look for a short between the battery and the engine control module.
