This is my moms XJ, she was out of town a week or two ago and the CEL came on. Then shortly after that her battery died. She took it to AutoZone and they tested the battery and said it had a dead cell, the battery was 6 years old so it needed one. She had them replace it and check the alternator. All was well for a week or so until she calls me last night and says the CEL is back on again.
I went by there today and pulled codes 12, 41, 55 out of it.
12 just means that the memory was cleared when the new batter was installed
[FONT="]41 charging system circuit not responding to control signal
55 end of test
I checked the battery cables and sure enough they were loose, I could remove them by hand!
I tightened those up.
I also noticed a green wire w/black stripe behind the battery going to a connector that looks a little melted but it appears to have been that way for a while.
Any suggestions or do you think the loose cables could have been the issue?
