It was a snowy day, and we were driving back home after a visit to the store to refuel our diesel. Suddenly, a light started flashing on the dashboard, and we were baffled about what it could be.
We decided to use a Greendale 172 scanner to read the codes and figure out the issue. After connecting the scanner and communicating with the ECU, we received a series of error codes: 0807, 0806, 075, 0674, and 0673. Upon further investigation, we found out that 0707 and 0808 referred to fuel pressure, while 0674, 0675, and 0673 were related to glow plugs.
Upon conducting a Google search and reading the manual, we learned that the flashing light indicated a problem with the throttle control sensor. Fortunately, the manual provided a reset procedure for this issue.
The reset process involved turning the key off, turning it to the on position, waiting for all the lights to go out except the check engine light, pressing the accelerator to the floor, turning the key off, turning it on, and then starting the vehicle. Surprisingly, the light stopped flashing, indicating a successful reset of the throttle control sensor.
After this experience, we wanted to share this troubleshooting tip with other 2008 Jeep owners. For anyone facing a similar dashboard light issue, following this reset process could potentially resolve the problem.
