Default check engine light

The check engine light came on, and I checked the code and now I'm confused. please help. This is what it came up with when I checked the code 34355. I know 34 means (Speed control circuit or
speed control switch
always low or high.) and the 55 means end of code. So what does the middle 3 mean cause it says codes are only two numbers. http://dodgeram.info/Engine-Gas/OBDI/pcm_fault_code.htm

thanks,

jeff

I read it several time and I said the same thing. I'll have to go check again next time I'm outside.

I went out to check and I think it might be.

code 12(which makes sense cause I changed the battery)

and code

code 43(Ignition coil circuit #)

sorry I probably read it wrong the first time.

Your not looking in the correct computer range. Being a 97, your truck is obdII.
