Hey fellow Jeepsters,
My TJ (Model in subject line) check engine dummy light came on a few months ago. I don't remember the two codes it displayed, but I think one was the p1603 and one was a transmission code. This started right after I got gas and left the gas cap on the pump. I put it back on and the codes didn't go away (maybe a coincidence?). Although the codes were for the PCM and TCM, it's been running great. No problems with the engine or the transmission function. Gas mileage hasn't changed either. This isn't my primary vehicle so it only has about 135K on it, and well maintained. My mechanic said sometimes there are low voltage problems, and since the battery was old, I replaced it and the serpentine belt. The light came back on right away. I also used a code reader a couple times to reset the codes, and the check engine light came right back on.
So, does anyone have experience with this? I've read several posts with the same engine codes, but they all were noticing problems, which I haven't. I live on dirt roads in central Florida, so it stays muddy/dirty.
Any help on this specific problem would be much appreciated...
