My 04 Jeep Cherokee check engine light came on this morning. I was warming up the car for about 15 minutes, and upon my getting into the car to leave, noticed the light.It has 69,000 miles on it as of today, and I had the oil changed about 3 weeks ago. I checked the gas cap and it was on properly.Is this a ploy by the manufacturer to get me to the dealer around 70,000 miles? Or is there an actual problem?
i heard stories of certain jeep models involved in the ploy to allow the light to come on at around 70,000. not sure if this is a ploy or not, But , I would suggest that you reset your system by entirely disconnecting the battery. then reconnect it . If the light comes back on soon- then have the code read by autozone or your local auto store- they usually do this for free. the code will indicate which system is faulty and allow a quicker diagnosis as per sensors that may be affected. i hope this helps
My Jeep GC did that not to long ago and it was just my gas cap oil was cracked
It is probably the gas cap. It may have a crack in the rubber seal. If its not the gas cap there is probably an EVAP leak. It happens to Jeeps all the time
putting it in drive before you have completely stopped reversing.
