    Slow city driving in the rain today when, with no warning or mishap,
    the "Service Engine Soon" light came on. No symptoms, car runs fine.
    Tried the ignition key on-off-on-off-on trick and got the "Service
    Engine Soon" light to blink out codes: 12 43 55. Alpar.com interprets
    this as two codes, 12 and 43 with 55 as "end of codes" delineator.
    The 12 code is: "Battery or Computer recently disconnected"
    The 43 code is: "Peak primary coil current not achieved with max dwell
    time...OR...Cylinder misfire...OR...Problem with power module to logic
    module interface"
    Yikes!
    A few days ago I had a mechanic repair a slight leak of transmission
    fluid at the radiator connection... perhaps he disconnected the battery
    as a safety measure before doing the work. But the other items??
    Anybody have any idea how I could differentiate among the three
    possibilitiues for code 43?
    Also, is there a way to reset the system so that the "Service Engine
    Soon" light will go out?
    Thanks.

    A cylinder misfire occurred. How many miles on this vehicle and when was the
    last tune up done with a good set of plug wires?
    The check engine lite will go out after the problem has been fixed/or if it
    doesn't occur again after the monitors have passed.

    Hi:

    I had similar problem on my 98 Plymouth voyage a month ago. First, I
    replaced spark plug, it corrected problem some what. Then I replaced
    all the spark plug wires. The problem is totally gone. Try that first
    and see if it will go away.
