seems like you have the following codes, 12-21-55.

Code 12 is okay. It just let you now that you disconnect you battery in the last 50 starts of the motor (I think) so no worries.

Code 55 is the end of the code sequence. No worries.

Code 21 is..
21 Upstream HO2S stays at center Harness and connector / Upstream HO2S
21 Upstream HO2S shorted to voltage Harness and connector / Upstream HO2S
21 Upstream HO2S response (M/T) Harness and connector / Upstream HO2S
21 Upstream HO2S heater failure (M/T) Harness and connector / Upstream HO2S
21 Downstream HO2S stays at center (M/T) Harness and connector / Downstream HO2S / Fuel system
21 Downstream HO2S heater failure (M/T) Harness and connector / Downstream HO2S
21 Downstream HO2S shorted to voltage (M/T) Harness and connector / Downstream
.
I'm not sure what this all means, but maybe someone else will pitch in and help out.

Code 21 is a bad o2 sensor. It can be either your upstream or downstream one. Most likely the upstream though. I have a constant code 21 in mine since I have no downstream o2 sensor hehe.

He said code 22 NOT 21. . .

Code 22
Engine coolant sensor voltage to high/low
Harness and connector / Engine coolant sensor

Actually if you read his more recent post:

"it blinked once then 2 times, paused, 2 more times, blinked once, paused, blinked five times, paused, five more times. "

It's 12 - 21 - 55 like Kaiser said. So it's code 21, o2 sensor.

I just did it again..its definately code 21, i was just temporarily retarded. So i should just change my o2 sensor?

yeah my o2 trips a lot...and when i was na it would trip for no reason quite a few times...try reseting your computer and see if it trips again..if so and you do want to replace it, you can get it from nopi for 37 bucks.

i wouldn't worry if your a/f gauge looks ok and your car's running good.
