What does your dealer have to say? I don't like the chain or tire channel car washes. Find another in your area that doesn't use one.

A new car like yours should only be hand washed or washed in a touchless car wash, not the old fashioned type that grinds off your paint.

Yea, it was Wash N Roll car wash. I have just started to use a standard car wash but the one I am now useing uses brushes that goes around my vehicle and air dry.

Most likely something got wet and triggered the check engine light. I wouldn't worry about it! If it happens whenever it rains or you drive through a puddle let your local Jeep Dealer have a look at it. Hope that helps! Jim
