(1) Code "12" should be displayed only when no reference pulses are received by ECM (engine not running).
NOTE: Trouble code charts should only be used if "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light is illuminated (indicating a current problem exists). Exceptions are Code 13, 15, 24, 44 and 45 charts, which may be used to help diagnose intermittent codes. Anytime Codes 51, 52, 54 or 55 are displayed with another code, start with "50-series" code first, then proceed to low profile numbered codes.
