TJ Codes
Hello everyone,
another question... how do I read the engine check codes on my 97 TJ? I tried the odometer thing (ON OFF ON OFF ON) but nothing came up. Any suggestions? Thanks again, Joe. |
Re: TJ Codes
Hi Joe,
You need another cycle of "off on" There is about a six month period where Daimler thought Americas were too stupid to monitor their own car, but most of the time we just don't give it enough time for the computer to make it's diagnoses. Rather than blinking engine light it may be read from the digital odometer (if you have) as in: Turn the ignition key until the digital odometer displays, repeat three times in succession and then back to "On" On/Off, On/Off, On/Off, On). At the fourth "On" the odometer will be replaced with codes. If no codes are present then "Done" will appear. Some you may have reset the trip odometer and read it: http://www.allpar.com/fix/80s-codes.html or: http://www.wjjeeps.com/faultcodes.htm Otherwise it's a four hundred dollar OBD-11 scanner.

Re: TJ Codes
Thanks Bill!
I just did that and after a couple of tries I got it right... It displayed the codes 12 and 55. Now I'm going to try and find out what they mean... Cheers, Giuseppe. "L.W.

Re: TJ Codes
This the info I got for code 12:
"Direct battery input to PCM was disconnected within the last 50 Key-on cycles." Is this accurate? Also what does this mean? What's a PCM? Thanks again, Joe.
