If the battery goes dead, or is disconnected, you will get the code 12. Pull out the battery, bring it to a parts store to be checked to see if its low charge or a bad battery This is a free service. Clean up the battery connections with a nifty cheap little tool available at parts stores, one end fits over battery terminal, twist it to clean terminal, the other end fits inside the cable, twist and clean cable opening. If the connections are not dirty, or corroded, and the battery checks out ok, or just low charge, then have the alternator checked, also a free service at parts stores. Good luck.
Check and clean the battery connections and if the battery is dead, charge it and load test it. If the battery doesn't take a charge, one of the cells in it may be bad and it will have to be replaced. If it tests good put it back in the car and go from there. Good luck.
