So a guy who’s been having a lot of grief with his new JL posted this:
“Spoke to the owner of Freeland Jeep and he was very apologetic about my car not being looked at for an entire day even with an appointment. He said the cause of the check engine light had to do with something if the gas and brake are pressed at the same time (which of course I never did). They cleared the light and had a tech drive it 40 miles without it coming back on. While on the phone he asked if his head mechanic could drive it 60 miles round trip to his home and back (overnight) to further ensure the light wouldn't come on. I really didn't want my brand new Jeep at some strangers home overnight, but at this point I just wanted it fixed!”
It doesn’t make sense to me that pressing the brake and gas pedal simultaneously would cause a CEL. I would think that there would be plenty of reasons off road to hold the brake and press the gas (prevent rolling backwards on a steep incline?) Can anybody confirm and/or explain this?
A lot of dealerships seem to be confused with this new fangled contraption but I don’t know.
