Looking to see if anybody near Westwood (90024) has a code scanner I could use to check for a code. My check engine light came on last night and I'm the type of guy that doesn't like to touch my Jeep until I know what the problem is. If anybody could help, I'd be willing to bring a 6 pack of your choice with me :beer:

there's an ignition sequance you can do that will reveal CEL codes. (JK) place the ignition in on, the PUSH the key inward to "unlock" the ignition cylinder, go: off,on,off,on, off and then on againe. the codes will pop up in the odometer reading and display "------" then the codes, and then "-done-" hope that helps!

Did the sequence and came up with P0406. Google turned up " P0406 - Egr Position Sensor Circuit High". Not familiar with the egr. Is this serious? Is this something I need to replace yesterday? Or will I be ok with occasional short drives for a few more weeks? Any help is appreciated

could be simply the sensor, or the EGR Valve. Anytime I get a CEL I tend to fix the issue sooner than later bc newer cars tend to be "smart" and adjust parameters to compensate or protect the fault, which could lead to more issues.
