Trouble codes again!

Can anyone tell me what a 1, 2, 5, 5, on a 93yj 4.0 means?

Thanks in advance.

Ron 93YJ

Hi Ron,
Twelve is a disconnect battery, and fifty five is end of codes:

What Bill says.

You are observing two codes, 12 and 55. 12 means the battery has been
disconnected, 55 means there are no more codes.

ok, but my battery has not been disconnected in over a year. the jeep
suddenly dies only to restart after setting for a couple of minutes.
Any suggestions as to what might be the problem?

Then I would start cleaning all the connections you can find
starting with the battery, that little hesitation on start is enough to
suck the brains out of your computer, and the radio pre sets if that's
ever happen to you, to confirm it. Could be Mike's infamous ground cable
from back of engine block to body.

I recently had a guy at my house whos clock kept resetting itself. It was
driving him nuts because he would set it, and go somewhere and park. Start
the car and the clock would flash 12:00 again.

It turns out his battery was going. The funny thing is, there was no other
symptom. The car started easily every time, and by all measures, it was
fine. Just the clock would forget what time it was.

It just ocurred to me that just maybe 12 means the batery has not only been
disconnected, but it is weak as well.

The alternator internal short that kills the engine that can be
restarted, happens frequently to hot rods whom spin it just a little too
tight, with a too tight a belt.

That is strange.

However, on my mothers car the power door locks quit one day.. Several days
later she brought it over and the battery showed bad. Replaced it,
everything works fine again.

By the way, I have never seen anybody NOT get a 12. I wouldn't spend any
effort at all chasing this down.

Typically what happens is people clear codes by disconnecting the battery.
When they reconnect the battery, the first thing that happens is the code
gets set that says the battery was not connected. This is not a fatal code,
so it does not turn the Check light on, but the code is stored along with
other codes that might come up from time to time.

Troubled batteries can do strange things. On a Toyota Sienna we had the
power door locks operate mysteriously on their own. Every once in a while
they would just go lock, unlock, lock, try to lock again, unlock, wait a
while, then start doing it again. A new battery fixed that too. It was
just a coincidence that it was changed out at that time, but the problem
went away. Of course I took full credit for 'fixing' that one....
