Emiss Maint light
Have a 88 mod Jeep Ch.Laredo 4.0L Autom.
The light "Emiss maint" started to light today, anyone knows what it means ? I have no manual. The light is below the part time light left side. I had to do some welding on the exhaust pipe some weeks ago, I have a little leak, any connections here ? Appreciate any help. Best Regards Geir R.Pettersson grp.arctic@heating.no |
Re: Emiss Maint light
It comes on with the timer box reaches XXX miles.
Either unplug the box, try to buy a brand new box, drill a hole in it and reset it, also check the 02 sensor. The light indicates that it is time for a new 02 sensor or at least to check the old one. I still might have instructions on resetting the old box, if you want to try that. I have not done mine yet, it is just unplugged. Maybe one day. lol BTW I have some new 02 sensors left to sell for the 87-90 4.0 engines, that is if you need one. 8^) -- later, dave 88 XJ 4.0 auto 82 Wag Ltd. 360 auto (to be retired!) anyone interested, whole or parts? 88 FSJ-GW 360 auto (GRAND 88) Chicago "Geir R.Pettersson" <grp.arctic@heating.no> wrote in message news:1071316702.165428@gurney... > Have a 88 mod Jeep Ch.Laredo 4.0L Autom. > The light "Emiss maint" started to light today, anyone knows what it means ? > I have no manual. > The light is below the part time light left side. > |

Re: Emiss Maint light
It is a mileage timer telling you you need to go spend money at the
dealer. It cannot be reset and must either be replaced to start counting again or simply unplugged and you figure out yourself when you want to go spend money. It is for the O2 sensor and had no bearing on reality. The box to unplug is on the center side of the steering column under the dash and under the cruise module if you have cruise control. It can just be unplugged.

Re: Emiss Maint light
The O2 sensor was under recall on our 88. Got the recall done 3 years
ago or so and our 88 is pushing 300,000 km.

Re: Emiss Maint light
Wish I had known that before I had changed mine and found a stash of new
ones for other 87-90 XJ 4.0l engines. :-( Someone did successfully reset their timer and sent me instructions on how to do mine. later, dave "Mike Romain" <romainm@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:3FDB3EDF.79CA0080@sympatico.ca... > The O2 sensor was under recall on our 88.

Re: Emiss Maint light
Thanks to all, for your help.
At the moment the Emiss Maint light has been turned off by itself. I guess I will have to disconnect the next me is show off. I did use some plastic padding on the exhaust, cause I had some major leak in the main unit after welding, however the light went off before I did that. Anyway, appreciate your help. I am sure it want me the last time I ask questions. Have a nice Christmas. To the ones that have seen my other request about cruise control, it is now working. I must have touched some wire or something when I was looking for the emiss maint box to disconnect, cause now the cruise control work, must be the Christmas spirit. -- Best Regards Geir R.Pettersson grp.arctic@heating.no http://www.arctic-heating.com "Geir R.Pettersson" <grp.arctic@heating.no> skrev i melding news:1071316702.165428@gurney... > Have a 88 mod Jeep Ch.Laredo 4.0L Autom. > The light "Emiss maint" started to light today, anyone knows what it means ? > I have no manual. > The light is below the part time light left side. > > I had to do some welding on the exhaust pipe some weeks ago, I have a little > leak, any connections here ? > Appreciate any help. > > > > Best Regards > Geir R.Pettersson > grp.arctic@heating.no > > |

Re: Emiss Maint light
I didn't bother to note down that timer 'fix'.
I can't see any reason to have an idiot light telling me to go spend money every 80K or so. I go spend enough money when something is 'really' broken.

Re: Emiss Maint light
lol I agree with you Mike, that is why I have not done might yet.
I think that some people just like everything functioning. Oh and some people need reminders to tell them when to have their oil changed! ;-) I might do mine one day just for fun. later, dave "Mike Romain" <romainm@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:3FDDCCF9.7F16B292@sympatico.ca... > I didn't bother to note down that timer 'fix'. > > I can't see any reason to have an idiot light telling me to go spend > money every 80K or so.
