Hello, I bought a 2021 Wrangler Sahara 4xe on Monday and this code came on Thursday. I didn’t panic when I found your video and followed all of the steps. It worked, THANK YOU! Question can I just leave the cables unplugged. It was so difficult getting them out.
@tommypan634910 сағат бұрын
Putting them back is more difficult than pulling them out :) You can leave them unplugged, it won't impact driving or any function. However, your dealer will need them connected back, in order to do software upgrades or any diagnostic. I just left them unplugged and asked the dealer to put back in when they need to (although they don't like it, cause it's difficult for them as well, but they can't say no)

Thanks for this video. It was a huge help. After seeing the "Service Charging System" error on my brand new 2024 Wrangler 4xe I was disappointed that it was having issues in the first couple of weeks. I made a service appointment at my dealer. It was going to be about a 10 day wait and they suggested it would take 2-3 days to diagnose the problem (shocking!). So I searched around and found your video. I bought the vLinker MC+ for about $48 on Amazon. Since I already have a Tazer JL Mini installed, I did not need the adapter cable for the security bypass (the Tazer does this already). So I was able to plug in directly to the stock OBD-II port. Add in the JScan app on Android (had to close and restart app for 1st time connection) and I was digging deep into all the codes. Took snapshots of all codes after determining nothing was too interesting other than charge system related codes. Cleared it. Charging as expected. No problems for the last 10 days.

Have a 2021 4×e and the auxiliary error light came on, looks like the Avengers sign. I checked under the Fuze box on the passenger side and it turns out there is no Auxiliary battery there. Does someone know where the Auxiliary battery (small motorcycle looking battery ) is on these 2021 and higher?? The Auxiliary battery is dead and keeps drawing parasitic load of my main battery. How do i solve this?

Bless you! Local dealer wanted to keep the car 4 days. Had the code cleared within 5 minutes of connecting the OBD2 reader and am recharging like normal again. BTYW, pro-tip for anyone frustrated by the bypass cable removal procedure, the disconnect lever is on the back of the connecter toward the front of the car. Once you find that, cables pull out easily.

Good, quick fix in under 15 mins for ~$100. Sad for all 4Xe drivers that among all the other issues with the 4xes (fuel and oil refresh?), that they can't save us the hassle of going yet again to the service dept vs. the reset happening automatically or remotely.

well. apart from the charing thing, i didn't experience any other issue . They have done multiple software upgrades and recall upgrades, and I haven't experience any charging issue for a while. My experience is some extream cold weather (like -15 oc or lower) and heavy snow tends to cause more charing errors. If you live somewhere like Florida or Texas, then shouldn't have this concern.

Newb here when it comes to car tech stuff. Any tips or video tutorial links on how to unplug / plug the bypass cables without damaging anything? First time I watched this video, having to find and unplug bypass cables was a deal breaker for me...but two trips to the dealer later just for the simple clear code and it happened again...I'm willing to try now to avoid going to dealer again. 😂 Any tips greatly appreciated!
@tommypan63496 ай бұрын
it is very challenging, took me 30 min to unplug the cable first time. I feel its easier to use left hand to reach the plug, just press down the connection pin, then use right hand to pull it out. Unplug the cable is easier than put them back in, so unless I'm sending the car back to dealer, I just left the bypass cable connected, it does not impact any function (at least I didn't find any). if you have to plug the cable back in, i find its easier to do the left side one first then the right side, but either of them is tricky, you need to position the angle correctly. Others may have more pratical tips. But for me, after did 3 times in a week, I kind have muscle memory on the position now :)

Very, very nice! Thanks. I own a '24 Willys built two days after the strike ended. No surprise that it had a CEL after about two weeks of ownership. Dealer was supportive, but it took three weeks to get straight. After that, I realized that you CANNOT OWN a Jeep 4Xe without an OBD dongle (yes, the Vgate vLinker MC+) and Jscan. So much peace of mind, thanks again for a great video.

If you try to do this yourself will you void the warranty?
@tommypan634910 ай бұрын
Great question, diagnose and clearing codes shouldn't be any issue to warranty, in theory dealer needs to proof that the defect / issue is caused by the modification or tempering before they void warranty. I see people use JSCAN to do all sorts modes (e.g. change tire size, settings) and no one reported with a warranty issue (but if you made a lot EUC changes, better change it back before send to dealer) Having that said blindly clearing any codes without checking the detail and understand the rational is risky, as the car may running with serious issue but without notifying you.. I'm not surprised if delear void the warranty because of that. That's why I mentioned in the video, if you see any other error code which you don't understand, take it back to dealer. I did some good digging on this specific error code, so I know its safe to clear (its just like reset the GFCI outlet in your home), and in fact the service manager in my dealership hinted me to do it myself after I brought it back 3 times for same reason 🤣 The guy helped me write the charge off by mark it under warranty-scope inspection, but guess he can't keep doing that 😅

I got the 2 blue lights on the charge panel after I plugged into a public charger one have used many times and had just used without issues the day before. I took it to the dealership and told them I hoped it was just an error they could clear and I would be on my way. They ran diagnostics and said it was my charger port had gone bad they are seeing a lot of this. They told me it would take 2 weeks to get a part. Then the next day they tell me they "found one" in Portland 8 hours away and they would have it fixed in 2 days. My Wrangler charged fine at home for the next 4 days until I charged at the same Public charger and again I get 2 blue lights and the jeep won't charge. So I followed these steps and fixed it in 60 min (45 min trying to disconnect and reconnect the damn bypass cables). This is a life saver since my dealership is an hour away and take 3 weeks to get an apt. No I'm wondering if the dealership never replaced the charge port and finally got around to just clearing the error. Thanks Tommy!

So... im back with a new comment hahaha. I went to a public chargepoint station today, and when I plugged in, the station went offline and I got the "external charging" error. I then moved on to the neighboring station... same thing but now it was saying "service charging system". I went to a different location further away and same thing. I am assuming that the fault from the station caused this. Would this method be a good fix?

You will need to read the error code using the obd2 scanner. The service charging system is a very generic error. But for sure it's in safe mode now, won't accept any external charging till you clear the code.

Ridiculous comment from someone who doesn't actually own one. I have had 7 other Wranglers and this is by far and away the best of the bunch. The 4XE gets excellent mpg. Two months in, we have yet to full it up. Cheaper to run than our CRV. The 4XE goes 0 -60 in 5.5 seconds. It has significantly more power than the gas only Wrangler (Not 392) so you do not have to regear when you add much bigger tires. Plus it is cheaper if you are comparing the same trim levels due to all the incentives. The 4XE has more torque than my new chevy 2500HD gas truck and gets well over 30 mpg. If you are gonna debate someone, please bring facts like this rather than your immature opinion.

You will not be able to get the Jeep in gear If you just let the car sit with the engine and power off for a few minutes,, it will self clear after maybe 5 minutes.
