Need Help ASAP

This morning I turned on my car and the exhaust sounded kinda weird. Then the CEL came on it it blinked 12 times. I checked it and it said- "direct power input to the PCM has been disconnected within the last 50 key-on cycles." I was wondering what I could do to fix this problem. Thanks!!!!!

I'm not sure if you can even do the key dance on a 98, but this post is probably a joke right?

You didn't flash 12 times. You flashed 13. Pulled codes 12 and 55. Power disconnected and end of codes. You always get the 12. Don't worry about it. It's not a problem. Think of 12 as "beginning of codes" and 55 as "end of codes." If you get anything in between them, then you have a problem (maybe). The ECU flashes for 2 digit codes, so 12 would be blink (pause) blink blink (pause). There is a slightly longer pause between the individual codes than between the two digits.

Thanks. But now my CEL stays on while I'm driving and it won't turn off.
