Yep.
Disconnect the battery, clean the terminals while your there, then
reconnect. Code 12 will remain. The only way to clear a 12 is with
a Scantool or fifty starts. Why 50 I have no idea.
Personally, I'd disconnect the battery, clean the terminals, then go
through all the connectors and remove, clean, and put a blob of dilectric
grease in them (sparkplug boot grease) to keep the water out. Clean the
throttle body around the butterfly (toothbrush and TB cleaner works well)
Then when you start it, finish off cleaning the air passage by the butterfly
valve. That helps clean up rough idle problems and should be done about twice
a year as routine maintenance.
