Newb here, I bought a 2016 Patriot Latitude 2.4 6spd recently and threw some google searches came across this forum that has a wealth of information about these cars. I work on my own cars and most of the questions I've had are answered by scouring this forum. I also work at Stellantis here in Toledo, Ohio building the Jeep Wrangler. I've been here 16 years and currently work in our body shop as a sheet metal finisher. If you guys have any questions feel free to PM me, thanks

No-o-o! Ask questions in the open forum so others can learn too! That's what we're here for. :)

Lest I forget, welcome to the forum. Sound's like you'll be a great resource on here. See ya around the threads.

Thanks for the warm welcome! As someone who likes to tinker and be pro-active I cleaned my TB yesterday, drove it last night for about 50 miles no issues. Then today on the drive into work I got the dreaded lightning bolt icon with a check Engine Light. I will scan the car when I get home tonight. I turned the car off then on and it went away and drove some what normal but yeah I will figure it out and need be replace the TB. Searched autozone to see the part is around $280 🥴

I did have the battery unconnected for about a hr and a half or so. I did not do a relearn, like where you press the gas pedle slowly over 15 seconds, I will try this when I get home tonight. Wish me luck
