check engine light
hey everyone,
we just had a big rainstorm here and i decided to go and find some fun with my tj... i went through a section of a dirt road that was flooded out, i didnt have any problems getting through but on the other end my jeep stalled, and then had trouble getting power for a few minutes. the check engine light came on, and its still on now a few hours later... Tj runs fine now, Is this something i should be worried about or will it just go away on its own? thanks for any input - Nicole |
Re: check engine light
I think it's fine...Jeeps are made for stuff like than and as long as water
didn't get into your air intake you should be all set. The light should go off on its own... <3 White TJ OIIIIIIIO -Josh |

Re: check engine light
I'd be willing to bet that the light came on due to a misfire, caused
by the water. It will probably go out on it's own after a few days. If not, disconnect the battery for a couple minutes, then hook it back up. Should be gone then... if it comes back on again, might want to pursue it further. And for future reference, do not blast through flooded roads or other bodies of water at high speeds like they do in the commercials. Crawl through them slowly. :) (At least I'm assuming you hit this flooded out section of road with enough speed to cause a decent sized splash?)

Re: check engine light
i crawled my way through the first time because i wasnt sure how deep it was
or if it suddenly got really soft... but the 2nd time through it may have looked like a commercial because i was feeling much more confident :) from now on ill go slower though, promise "David C.
