CEL came on
My 96 XJ's CEL came on last night. It has 195k on the clock. Running fine otherwise. Any thoughts as to what it might be> I recall when I had my 92 the CEL came on automatically at around 95k. Is this a similar event? XJ seems to be running fine.
I do have a wireless plug in OBD2 device that I can view the results on my phone. I'll check it out later today.

Hundreds of possibilities. Strategy is always the same. Pull codes, post them here and then take a "testing based approach" on determining root cause.
Interpreting codes is not always straight forward.

something to do with early protocols of OBD2...my 10/96 worked fine, but the 4/96 called out "OBD1"..until I got a BAFX scanner
