Code 12 -Idle Air Bypass motor not controlling idle properly (generally idle too low) - IAB dirty or not working. Take it off and clean it thoroughly with throttle body cleaner. Clean the electrical contacts with non flammable brake parts cleaner at the same time.

where exactly is this inside the car or under the hood haha im a newbie

 

[bobbyd]

basictly this is what happends when i put the key on the ignition the check engine lights is on as the airbag light blinking and when i turn on the car the check engine light is no longer on but the airbag keeps blinkin a code

The CEL should illuminate for a second or two upon turning the key to the 'on' position (to let you know the idiot lights work). then they go out unless there is a serious code stored. If the lights come on with turning the key on, the bulb/circuit works.

To address you previous question, the bulbs are right behind the facia (which has the icon). remove the instrument cluster to access the bulb.

What is your airbag code?

Good luck.

You should be able to clear soft air bag codes, while I think you need to have someone clear more serious codes (true on 94+ cars at least).
