No scanner needed. A 94 ZJ will tell you the codes on its own by flashing the check engine light in spurts after turning the ignition to the on position then off three times. Wait and mark down the flashes. There will be short pauses between numbers and longer pauses between codes. It's called On Board Diagnostics for a reason.

What are they? They are error codes that are stored in the computer and can be read with a scanner, present when the "check engine" light has come on.



What error code do you have? The codes range from code 11 through 72.



If any problem is repaired or ceases to exist, the fault code stored in the PCM will be erased after 51 engine starts. All stored codes will be erased if the battery is disconnected for 15 minutes, but a fault code 12 will be set when the battery is reconnected..

These are from a '95 XJ/YJ, but I can't imagine they're that different for the Grand Cherokee:



Code Description

11* No crank reference signal detected during engine cranking.

12* Direct battery input to PCM was disconnected within the last 50 key-on cycles.

13** No difference recognized between the engine MAP reading and the barometric (atmosphereic) pressure reading at start-up

14** MAP sensor input below minimum acceptable voltage.

or

MAP sensor input above maximum acceptable voltage.

15** No vehicle distance (speed) sensor signal detected during road load conditions.

17* Engine coolant temperature remains below normal operating temperatures during vehicle travel (thermostat).

21** Neither rich nor lean condition detected from the oxygen sensor input.

or

Oxygen sensor input voltage maintained above the normal operating range.

22** Engine coolant temperature sensor input above maximum acceptable voltage.

or

Engine coolant temperature sensor input below minimum acceptable voltage.

23** Intake manifold air temperature sensor input above maximum acceptable voltage.

or

Intake manifold air temperature sensor input below minimum acceptable voltage.

24** Throttle position sensor input above maximum acceptable voltage.

or

Throttle position sensor input below minimum acceptable voltage.

25** A shorted condition detected in one or more of the idle air control motor circuits.

27* Injector #1 output driver does not respond properly to the control signal.

or

Injector #2 output driver does not respond properly to the control signal.

or

Injector #3 output driver does not respond properly to the control signal.

or

Injector #4 output driver does not respond properly to the control signal.

or

Injector #5 output driver does not respond properly to the control signal.

or

Injector #6 output driver does not respond properly to the control signal.

33* An open or shorted condition detected in the A/C clutch relay circuit.

34* An open or shorted condition detected in the speed control vacuum or vent solenoid circuits.

or

Speed control switch input below the minimum acceptable voltage.

or

Speed control switch input above the maximum acceptable voltage.

35* An open or shorted condition detected in the radiator fan relay circuit.

41* An open or shorted condition detected in the generator field control circuit.

42* An open or shorted condition detected in the auto shutdown relay circuit.

44* An open or shorted condition exists in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit or a problem exists in the PCM's battery temperature voltage circuit.

46** Battery voltage sense input above target charging voltage during engine operation.

47** Battery voltage sense input below target charging voltage during engine operation. Also, no significant change detected in battery voltage during active test of generator output.

51** Oxygen sensor signal input indicates lean air/fuel ratio condition during engine operation.

52** Oxygen sensor signal input indicates rich air/fuel ratio condition during engine operation.

53* PCM internal fault condition detected.

54* No fuel sync (camshaft signal) detected during engine cranking.

55* Completion of diagnostic trouble code display on the malfunction indicator lamp (check engine lamp).

62* Unsuccessful attempt to update SRI (service reminder indicator) miles in the PCM EEPROM.

63* Unsuccessful attempt to write to an EEPROM location by the PCM.



* - Check engine lamp will not illuminate at all times if this code was recorded. Cycle ignition key as described and observe code flashed by check engine lamp.



** - Check engine lamp will illuminate during engine operation if this code was recorded.



PCM = Powertrain Control Module (the engine computer)

MAP = Manifold Absolute Pressure (the sensor that measures how hard the engine is sucking air through the intake manifold

EEPROM = Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (a type of computer chip used inside the PCM)
