Just cause the battery's voltage is 12V doesnt mean it has enough amperage to turn the motor over.
Load test it and make sure its ok.
The TAC codes will set when the battery has died.

Replace the battery and be done with it.

That tells me that it's something other than the battery.

If you've attached a known source of 13V to the system and you don;t hear anything happen at the starter and all electrical works, then it's the starter.
