      This error indicates a problem with the ARGC system, such as a stuck plunger, or a poisoned sensor. Inspect the sensor and ARGC. Attempt recalibration to resolve the error. If recalibration doesn't work, check the ARGC, ensuring the gas tank isn't empty, the gas line isn't leaking, and the regulator is correctly set. Clear the F12 error by applying the magnet over the display.
