Re: Jeep Cherokee Sport ----> Check Engine Light
Thank you, Billy Ray. I tried that for fun in my 2001 Grand Cherokee and
even though I didn't have a light on it still replied back "done." That'll
save me $75 from buying one of those readers.

Re: Jeep Cherokee Sport ----> Check Engine Light
Eddy,
I also have the 01 XJ Sport. The On/Off/On/Off/On method(MILF) does not work
for this model. It was discontinued after '97 IIRC. I spent the bucks and
bought an OBD II scanner from Actron at my local Farm and Fleet store. If in
the So. WI area, contact me and I will help you out with pulling the codes.
Otherwise, someone mentioned to stop at an Autozone/Checker parts stores and
they will usually pull the codes for you for little or no money.
