I'm ordering a reservoir tho my testing did not lead that way initially. The brake light was inop and I had cluster out for my health. It works now lol. Everyone says pull the bulb out of abs but I'm just not that guy.

I was pulling a trailer with faulty wiring one time. After that my anti lock light was on. Turned out a fuse was blown in the in cabin fuse panel. I don't recall which fuse it was, maybe #15, but replacing the blowen fuse made the light go out. Hope it is that simple.

The fuse associated with the red brake warning light is good akaik. I gou the light working with Park brake application. . I pushed the float down with a screwdriver but light is inop for that. Will that cause this? Heck idk lol. The code is for light On causing abs. I guess I'm going to do a master for this plus that's literally the only thing in the brake I have never replaced in all these years.

Yes. The crazy part is code 12 is referring to a brake fluid level low or mother things having to do with the brake indicator funny enough.
