Code 12 is Battery voltage to PCM disconnected within last 50 key-on cycles. So it's not a problem.
Code 47 is Battery under voltage. Probable cause is: Check the charging system.

SOURCE: engine code 95 jeep grand cherokee lerado

12 is a battery disconnect within the last 50 start cycles and 55 means the end of the diagnostic cycle.  Basically the computer found nothing wrong. The 12 code may seem incorrect if you haven't disconnected the battery recently, but from my experience the 12 code shows up almost all the time regardless.

There are a lot of things to check:
- check ANY wiring connector at the engine incl. ECU
- check fuel pump pressure (45 to51 PSI, 2,95 to 3,2 at), there is a connector on the right fuel line, between injector 3 and 5.
- check the sensor on the crankshaft if installed the right way.
- check injectors for leaking
- check your vacuum system careful
- check your TPS
Check your OBD II-System, all functions Engine and Freeze Frame, Emission control etc.
You can check the OBD-System first. Connectors and Software for PC/Laptop are sold for $ 100 to $ 170 incl. OBD-connector and wiring. This is a one time investment that saves you lot of costs and time

SOURCE: 93 grand cherokee 5.2 V8, red square flashing on VIC display

Your VIC doesn't provide you with codes per se, it supplies other information and what you describe here is what should be written on your VIC, "Coolant Sensor Bad." The actual Coolant Sensor runs to your PCM or computer and your check engine light will come on if it runs at or above 5 volts or below 0.1 volts. If the red square on the vehicle layout is illuminated under the hood area, it means that your Coolant Recovery jug is either low on anti-freeze or the sensor next to the yellow filler cap is faulty...meaning you're low on Coolant and the VIC says that the "Coolant Sensors Bad" yet it's the amount of fluid in the plastic bottle next to the passenger side firewall, right in front of your PCM or computer. If you're low on anti-freeze, keep an eye on it, or have the coolant system pressure tested...including the 18 pound cap on the radiator itself. Also check the two wires hooked to the Coolant LEVEL Sensor in the jug with an Ohmmeter and it should be an open circuit if the level is fine, or hardly any Resistance if the level is low, causing that circuit to complete it's ground circuit and thus signaling the VIC through your BCM to turn on. (Body Control Module). The Haynes Manual you will need is # 50025 which encompasses all Jeep Grand Cherokee's from 1993 thru 2004.

My 93 jeep grand cherokee is not getting fuel...if I disconnect the negative post for awhile and then reconnect it, the jeep gets fuel and will run....what is going on?

If the check engine light does not light up on the dash when you turn on the ignition, at those times when your jeep doesn't want to start, then your main jeep ecm is in need of repair. The fuel pump relay will get energized only after that check engine light comes on. It's a known problem, especially with the first and second year production Grand Cherokees, 93 and 94.

93 grand cherokee runs poorly, check flickers on and off , computer code 53

Code 53 is an internal PCM (engine computer) failure and will require the PCM to be replaced. A rare problem to have, unfortunately.

93 grand cherokee had engine replaced. new engine did not have oil sensor attached. display always shows the sensor is bad and to check the oil. i have attempted 2x to go on long highway trips and between...

You can defeat the oil level sensor by shorting the connector. Use a thick paper clip or other wire shaped in a "U" to connect the terminals in the plug. For the other problem, we will need trouble codes. Is the engine light on?

The original motor in my 93 grand cherokee 5.2L seized in June. I bought a good junk yard 5.2L motor from a 98 Grand Cherokee and swapped over the 93 intake and all related electronics. The engine is back...

are you sure those intakes are inter changeable?
if you still have the 98 intake and your 93 block ,sit there and look for any differences in holes or hole locations.
another way to check is when it is running remove the oil fill cap and see if it stalls or picks up speed.

1993 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO- TRUCK WONT

OK...I have a 93 outside...one diagram I have shows an ignition module next to coil...but there is none on mine, (4.0 engine)
Two items to check are crank sensor and cam sensor inside distributor. Test procedure can be found in just about any manual including haynes.
You will need a decent volt/ohm meter to do testing. You can also check codes by turning ignition switch on/off three times, leaving it on the third time. Check engine will flash code #'s (ex: one flash, pause two flashes= the number twelve.then followed by a longer pause then another set of flashes etc.)

93 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo

Could be a sensor.I'm thinking more along the lines of a fuel pump or fuel filter.If the fuel pump is going bad..similar symptoms.Would be advisable to install a pressure gauge at the engine,and check fuel pressure when it's acting up.
