Question Engine light....

Ok

So this was something that happened when i FIRST bought my jeep and had to take to dealer twice and it went away... so round 2.


Today, I was waiting for wife in a parking lot and went to turn on the jeep and pop on the A/C (75 degrees today in AZ) and the check engine light went on. I also noticed the lights on the console for the A/C, interior circulation light and defrost light were no longer working (turning on) when I pressed them. However, they were actually working just no light and a check engine.

I did the on off deal and got an error code of p0481 which i looked up and found to be P0481 - Cooling Fan 2 Control Circuit.

Odd tho.

So after driving a bit and going somewhere else, i tuned on the jeep again to find the check engine light on still. Did the same on off deal but it now finds NO error codes....

Any ideas? I have an appointment with the dealership service in the AM to check this out once again......

Update.

If this is happening to you check this out. It is apparently a software problem.

Ok

So update.

Dealership had the jeep for 3 hours, updated the PCM and said it seemed fixed.

I get the jeep drive for about an hour doing errands. While leaving the dealership i notice engine light is off and the lights for the A/C show on (and it is on) so everything is fine.

After going somewhere and getting back in the jeep, I notice the check engine light still is off but now the light for the a/c is off (yet the a/c is on). I flick it on and off and the light does not come on even tho the a/c is going on and off.

About another 30 minutes later check engine light comes on. I try to get an error code but none comes up (just lines then says done).

Now i have had this issue twice since i bought this 2010 jeep. The FIRST day and it took twice to fix it, and now 3 months later and this time they didnt seem to resolve it.

Do i call them again or try a different dealership? Im getting frustrated at this point.
