Jeep wj 2.7 crd obd codes
Discussion
I can't read the fault codes on the dash using the key on/off 3 times and hold the 4th on. (I'm coping what I see on YouTube)
It just reads the mileage still. Does that mean there ain't any codes or I'm doing it wrong ?
It's just she didn't fire up this morning after 5 days of not being used, but spins the engine over easy. And this is after 18 months of complete reliability since I fitted a new battery. I'm looking for clues as to why.
Maybe the short journeys I've been doing lately have depleted the battery voltage a bit so it's on charge now.
Cheers

I charged it for an couple of hours, and it still didn't fire up.
But I tried a few more times and she fired into life and has been ok since.
I really don't think there was anything wrong with the battery.
Is there any benefit of letting a diesel specialist (Bosch service Centre type place ?) do a diagnostic of the system ? Is it all on the laptop these days, what exactly can they test and verify is ok ? What should they be testing ?
Can we look at a 10 year old 2.7crd with 75K on the clock and say they all need new ????? at this point ?

you can read some basic ODBC code with a cheapo scanner tool, IIRC anything that appears on the dash can be seem by a scanner. From experience none starts without codes tend to be crank sensors.
I may have no option but to just keep checking the dash codes every morning to see if some thing finally does show up. Or I buy a new crank sensor and replace it and see what happens. Need a part number and price now !!Is there any worth in a home OBD reader, will it tell me anything the dash wont ? Last time I asked years ago word was they weren't very good unless you spend a lot on one.
Unless that's changed now ??
