Code 12 is the stopping and starting code for my TTA. Code 13 is for the O2 sensor. It sounds like it is not setting off any codes.

Code 12 is "all OK". You have a temporary code that doesn't record into the computer. If it doesn't stay, then that means that at the point the check engine light goes off, the problem that would set the code is not causing any more problems. You need to scan for the code when the light is constantly lit. If your only getting it while crusing, that sounds like it would be a VSS, but that's code 24. Good luck, and if everything is running good other than a light, don't worry about it.
