Thanks
The manual states that I should press the select then the set button for a least 2 seconds during starting. Didn`t work.
I also tried pressing the 2 buttons before turning the ignition on, but the display goes into a diagnostic mode.
I also tried going into the setup menu, and change the interval between tune-up, that didn`t reset the reminder neither.
I find that feature very useful, and would apreciate any help...

If i disconnect the alternator there is no problem, the BCM works perfectly, but my battery dies...
I allready change my PCM and BCM and everything still the same way....
I have a DRB III becose i am a repair shop, so if there is a way to fix the problem with this tool or another way please tell me
(Sorry by my bad inglish, I am from Argentina i did my best)
I'm guessing here so I'm not sure if this is right.
I believe you hit the select button until it shows the tune up reminder and at that point press both the select AND set button simultaneously for at least two seconds. You have to press and hold both buttons at the same time.
Is that what you did?
I would disconnect the two battery terminals and clean them with a wire brush. Make both the terminals and the battery posts nice and shiny.
You can also use baking soda and water to clean off any acid.
I would also pull out the battery IOD fuse and clean the blades of the fuse and reinsert it.
I do not own the JGC yet (hopefully will by the end of the month), but have test driven it. I am 6-2 and there is plenty of comfort in the new seats. From what I have heard, a lot of the JGC interior comfort has been modeled after Mercedes Benz. If you are still worried about head room, I suggest taking it for another test drive as I am this weekend. Hope this helps. - Forty
Second question: Yesterday, same thing, wasn't accelerating as I was going up a hill, then about 2 miles up it finally sounded like it kicked/punched into gear (downshifted)- felt like tranny was going to drop, lol- and it went up to almost 5000 rpms- now that has happened many times in the past too, but dealership told me that is normal (I cant remember the technical terms he used RE: why it is normal) does anyone know if it is normal to do this?
Depending on the load of the transmission you may have just not quite had enough load on the engine hence it "was not accelerating" and then "kicked into gear". I would not consider that out of the ordinary.
The 4.0 L engines are good engines but they don't have a ton of power.
It may feel to you to be a "rough" transition but that's pretty much how Jeeps are.
When mine downshifts, it's very noticeable when it does.
I have 166,000 miles on my transmission and it hasn't hurt it so far.
You may want to move this topic over to the "problems and solutions" board.
That's a more appropriate place for it.
We got rid of our Grand not too long ago, but if we had kept it, that was the next thing on my list to do.

It is imperative that the following items are checked:
1. Thoroughly clean the surface of the wheel hub/bearing assembly where it mates to the brake rotor. The hub surface must be free of corrosion and dirt so that the brake rotor rests flush against the hub.
1A. Make sure the back of the rotor (mating surface) is clean prior to installation.
1B. Make sure the rust preventative is removed (cleaned) from the rotorsprior to installation.
2. Each front brake rotor must be match mounted to the wheel hub/bearingto obtain the least amount of rotor lateral runout. The assembled lateral rotor runout of each rotor and hub assembly MUST BE verified to be 0.001 inch (0.025mm) or less. IF THIS CAN NOT BE ACHIEVED THROUGH MATCH MOUNTING THE ROTOR, THE ROTOR MUST BE MACHINED USING AN ON-THE-CAR LATHE.
3. The surface of the wheel where it mates with the rotor is cleaned of any corrosion and dirt.
4. The wheels are torqued to 100 ft/lbs

Thank you in advance, happy Jeeping! ...Matt
Just exactly when am I supposed to press the select button alone, because when you turn the ignition on, the display shows rightaway the reminder. So I tried pressing it just after (say 1 second) after turning the igition, tried pressing at the same time, and finaly just before turning the ignition on. Then both buttons together !!!???
I guess I`m going to return at the Jeep dealer again, I`m sorry I would have liked to get it by myself. But hey we can`t get everything right in life!!!
Thanks again, if you have any thoughts on that let me now....
Just for clarification, as soon as you turn the vehicle on and the reminder is showing, at that point I would press both buttons at the same time for 2-3 seconds.
If that doesn't work, I'm out of suggestions. Good luck.
I am having the same problem and have had 3 different sensors replace. Did you find a answer to the no rhyme or reason stall?
Would love to hear from you.
Lori
While that is displayed, push the top button in and hold it for several seconds until the miles reset and you hear the door chime ding.
If you want to change the interval, while holding down the set button, turn ignition off, then on.
Other than weird little querks, our 01 Laredo is running pretty good @63K mi. We have 8 months of extened warranty time left so I hope it keeps up for a few years (yes, I had the infamous caliper replacement done but under warranty and a few other things including seat heaters THREE times, but so far reliable and we especially love it in the winter, however now enjoying our 300M!).
Other than that, my 02' has been completely hassle free. Just got the 60K service done & everything is o.k. Best of luck to you.
The reason your vehicle was repaired at no charge is because you were still within the warranty period.
The automakers are under no obligation to make a repair free of charge outside the warranty period even if it is a known problem and there is a TSB on it.
Sometimes you may get them to break the rules but I believe it is rather uncommon.
Also, I still think it's worth pointing out to your dealer that you know that there is a TSB regarding the problem & that you'd like for them to do something about it. They may not, as a TSB is not a recall, however if you are a loyal customer and have a lot of your service work done at the dealer, you may be able to talk them into splitting the cost, or eating the labor. Though it is not common for this to happen, if you don't ask, you definitely don't get.
And also when I stop it comletely and release the brake then it makes some sounds like some turning/tweaking sound..I attribute that to new rotors.
Did anybody know what is going on.
Thanks,
SP
Thanks.

After a lot of Web searching, I found a link (in Spanish) which, in a five page review, states that the 3.0L CRD (Common Rail Diesel) JGC achieves a mean fuel economy of 9.9 l / 100 km, which translates to 23.759 mpg. According to www.wkjeeps.com/wk_production.htm,
production of the this version, for export, began on May 2.
As for DHS, I understand that it's been cancelled for 2005, but a Jeep
representative (again, I cannot give the link) assured me it would be available for 2006.

Even people at Jeep are confused about the availability of DHS, they have been telling people for months that it is "already available on current production models". I can tell you that DHS will NOT be available at introduction on 2006 models, including the Commander, Grand Cherokee Laredo, GC Limited or GC Overland models.
