to read the error code, but it justdoesn't work for me - the check engine light never blinks error codes likethe page says. Does the trick only work for older Jeeps? Is there any wayfor me to read the error code myself? Thanks.

You mean there are some jeeps made within a certain six month period that don't respond to the ignition switch sequence? Heh, my luck strikes again.
