Error code

I have a unit that goes into limp mode. Error code is 17 and 18.
The flashing code is 1217 and 1218. I'm assuming that the 12 does not count.
The unit goes slow, but after turning the engine OFF and then ON, it has high speed for about 10 to 15 seconds then goes back to limp mode.
Anyone with a list of troubleshooting codes? Or can tell me what those codes mean?

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
