Title: The dreaded Check Engine light
Post by: Seabee_BUC on November 19, 2008, 11:57:26 PM
So the light came on tonight while JD was driving to school. She thinks it may have came on while she was mid shift... Thoughts? I am going to go to Auto Zone and see if they can tell me what code its throwing...

If you need to use my code reader/ code eraser let me know.  I can bring it to Base with me.  Give me a call before 2130 if you want me to bring it.

I know I am a day late and a dollar short but Auto Zone does that for free.  Just go in and tell them that you wanna use their OBD 2 reader and they let you use it.

I checked it with Kirk's Code Reader yesterday after the light went out on the way home. It still showed as the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) It said "Circuit A High Input" Like I said, it went out on my way home so I'm guessing that when JD started the Jeep when it came on, maybe the gas hadn't relaxed, or maybe the hand throttle was set a bit and the computer didn't like it. The Jeep continued to run fine. If it comes back on I'm thinking the sensor might be going bad. Until then we're good... ;)
