07 jku. 103k miles. Had mine a week and the lightning bolt came on. Took it to auto zone to read the code. said it was the coolant thermostat. I changed it and the light did go off. ?

I have heard it being how you put on your gas cap too. idk. Back when I had this issue I was getting a variety of responses.

but a 14' shouldn't have that come on..

good luck.

Did you try to pull a code? Certain codes can be read from the odometer.
Ignition key: off/on/off/on/off/on (without starting).

P0223 - Throttle Position Sensor 2 Circuit High
P2135 - Throttle Position Sensor 1/2 Correlation

it could be anything from a loose connection to a faulty TPS. Just let the folks at the dealership take care of it.
