Today after start up, I hear a chime. I look on the dash and see an engine symbol that is lit. I check with the manual and it is a Malfunction indicator light. It stays on and is solid while engine is running. Manual says to look for missing or loose gas cap, bad or poor quality fuel. Cap is fine. Fuel is from the same station I always take it to. Monday I will take it to the dealership.
I hope it is still under the original warranty, but if not, I do have the lifetime warranty.
2014 JKUR with 12,159 miles. We purchased it in December 2013.
Just the cel light.
I called our local Jeep dealer where I purchased the Jeep from and have a schedule time for tomorrow for them to check it out. He said it is $175 for them to plug in and find out what is wrong. Of course we bought our Jeep
3 years and one month ago, so the 3 year warranty is up.
We did buy the lifetime warranty, so at the most it should be a $100 charge.
When they find out what it is, I will post the solution.
We have two Fords, and one Corvette with no problems.
So far, not so good with Jeep. This might be something simple, but as I wrote, NO issues with our other vehicles.
Several options:
1) insert key, turn to on position - do not start jeep, push in turn to off and then back to on position three times ending in the on position, if done correctly dashes will show up on your odometer followed by a dtc, Google the number that comes up
2) take to autozone/o'reilys/Napa or .... Have them read it
3) or my personal decision: Take your 175 and add another 20 or 30 and get a flashcal to read your own codes, and be able to adjust tire sizes, gear ratios, running lights, fogs with brights, and several other things
We have a local mechanic guru, and he has the latest equipment. He ran a test for FREE,,,, and found that the problem was a Oil Temp or pressure Sender, "can't remember which. He told me that there was a service bulletin on this issue. I called our Jeep service adviser and he said that yes there is a service bulletin on this issue. He said it would take about half a day to repair. He has our Jeep now. I asked if it was under the eight year warranty, and he said that he did not think so.
The only good thing about this is that we have the lifetime warranty, so at the most we should have to pay $100.
If this was not covered under the eight year warranty, we would have to pay the $175.00 testing, plus half a day repair, plus the new sender.
Supposedly, the old sender is plastic and the replacement sender is metal.
Seems Jeep uses a lot of plastic that tends to break.

And it pays for itself instead of you taking it in to getting the codes read... So atleast you'll know what's wrong and you can directly troubleshoot that problem.
Well, our Jeep is home. $100 deductible for our lifetime warranty. Service manager says they get $530 for a sensor r&r. So, my $2,000 lifetime warranty is now $1570.00 at this rate, our warranty will have paid for it's self in about six more years.
Bet you $5 that light comes back on. I had 2 oil pressure sensors replaced a month apart. Ongoing problem with Jeep..just got mine back from the dealer after them having it for 3 days after they put in sensor #2 and they replaced the oil pump this time.
I hope you are wrong on this, but time will tell. They told me that the new sensor is a all metal sensor that solves the problem. We will see if he is right or wrong.
Another disappointing occurrence is that their mechanic had trouble reinstalling the fuel injectors which took another 1.5 hours. I asked him if he coated the injector o rings with Vaseline, and he told me that after coating the o rings with some lube, they went in. :jawdrop: A first year mechanic knows you need to lubricate the o rings on injectors to install them. This does not make me secure with their competence.
