For the 1998 to 2002 models you can access the trouble codes as follows. Insert the key but do not turn. Fully depress the trip reset button and hold down. Next turn the key to the on position three times and then leave in the on position. Release trip reset button and the gauges will flicker and the odometer will count down and then show the trouble codes. I have been told that some 1997's you don't need to use the trip button but cycle the key off and on 5 times! Just try one way or the other if it does not work for you. There was also someone that told me it would not work unless they had a warm engine and there are a few theories that it will not work after '97 as Jeep did not like people finding the faults and having them repaired under warranty. I have done some searching for as many technics as possible hoping that one will work for the post '97 models ( '97 does still work as does early '98 as above ). These are from other Chrysler vehicles. Simultaneously press the trip reset and trip/odometer switches; while holding them, turn the ignition to RUN (not start), and wait about five seconds. This sends the car through a short self-test sequence that lights all segments of the odometer and shift selector read-out (where applicable). It will then display the stored error codes. Normally, to get codes, you put the key on OFF and then rapidly do OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON. Mark Warrington was able to use the blinking check engine light and the odometer readout after doing five on/ five off ignition sequences, and if the check engine light was on, on his 4-liter 1996 Grand Cherokee. A loose gas cap may light up the Check Engine light! (Thanks, Lyn Clark) James Hale's 2000 Grand Voyager has the following sequence. 1. 2. 3. 4. Press the trip and trip-reset buttons that are located next to the digital odometer. Turn the ignition key to "Run" or "On" and not "Start". Count five seconds or better yet, if you didn't buckle-up count five chimes. Release both buttons at the same time. Then the word "Codes" shows up in the odometer, and a self-test seems to take place; I always get "999" which I assume is the end-of-codes number. After that, a series of tests show up: "Code 1", "Code 2" and "Code 3" which test the gauges, lights and LEDs in the instrument panel, including the trip-computer/compass.

On Elko Tchernev's 1998 Stratus, where there is only one combined trip/odometer and reset switch, waiting for 5 seconds will just reset the trip odometer. To get codes, press the switch, turn the ignition to ON, and release the switch as soon as the odometer displays "Check 1". This causes the computer to go through several check sequences (5, IIRC), for all lamps, LED segments and gauges, indicated by "Check 2" etc. and terminated by "End". BUT Al Ward wrote that this only checks the sensors feeding the instrument panel. If one of the above please let me know. Otherwise you will have to use a OBDII scanner like this one or here which you can buy or some places like Auto Zone will do it for you for free!
