Default Error Code 12 and 15

I recently replaced my distributor/cap/ignitor and rotor. I thought that was why my car wasn't starting right. The fix ended up being the main relay. Well now i noticed my car is constantly triggering those codes every couple of days. The car runs fine but i am clueless on what is going on.

Thanks,
Sid

Thanks,

so when i was replacing my distributor/rotor/cap because i didn't know it was the main relay, two wires came out of the ecu harness. I cut those wires and connected the directly to the alternator by soldering them. After a week of driving around the CEL came back. same error codes. What the heck can be causing this?

Thanks,
Sid
