Code question

My neighbors sister in-law was having trouble with her 89 Caravan 3 liter.
It gave code 1 2 5 5 anyone know what that is??
Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure that 12 means that the battery has been recently
disconnected and 55 means "end of codes".

What sort of trouble are they having?

 

Your "1 2 5 5" is a 12 followed by a 55.

12: Start of codes
55: End of codes

Translation, no flash codes stored. What is the nature of this trouble
your sister in law is having with her '89 Caravan 3-litre?

 

It ran through deep water in a thunder storm and stalled out was hard to
get running again and seems to be running poorly! We did swap out the
battery! It has 313,000 km (194,000 miles) and likely no plugs or wires
this millennium!!

If you ran into that much water to get the battey wet you may be swapping
out alot of other things down the road

 

If the water was that deep I would check the transmission for water
contamination too.

If water got in to the engine you likely have major problems. Water
is non compressible so if it gets pulled in to the cylinder something
is going to break. Usually a rod bends. Check your compression first
to see what the numbers look like.

Next step I would take would be to do a complete "tune up" since you
already know it needs plugs and wires.
