trouble code retreival

i was just wondering how i go about retreiving trouble codes on my 88 cherokee????????????????

Quote from Haynes manual, "On 1990 and earlier models, with the exception of models equipped with a V6 engine, a special tool (Chrysler DRB-ll or equivalent) is needed to access the self-diagnosis system."

what about a 98 cherokee> can I do it without the scan tool?

98 is obd2 so not completly sure but on my 93 you just turn the ignition to on (not start) and back off i think five times and then the cel flashes certain sequenses to tell you the codes

three times, I was told by www.webejeepin.com that that would work on the 97 TJ, if my memory seerves me correctly thery have the same engine, computer, ect... but that dosn't seem to work on mine

on the 89 and 90 jeeps the DRBII will display fault codes for these
two years. 91 thru 95 Jeeps you can use snapon scanner. 96 and up
is OBDII and you can buy these code scanners cheap.

I got an OBDII scanner on eBay for $44 (including S&H). Works great and can reset MIL.

Doesn't work on my '88. But the earlier XJ's don't store codes, the connectors are set up for "run time" diags. The FSM gives you the pin outs that you can test with a meter.

all cars from 1996 and older are all obd2. If they still made the yougo, and it was a 1996, it would as well have a obd2.

You must have meant 96 and "newer".

Sorry, newer.
