What causes the 'Service Shifter' warning to appear while driving a Jeep Cherokee?
1 Answers
The 'Service Shifter' warning in a Jeep Cherokee may be triggered by quality issues with the shifter itself or faults in the vehicle's body control module. Solution: Park the vehicle, turn off the engine, open a door to completely cut power to the vehicle, then restart to see if the warning disappears. Precautions: When the 'Service Shifter' warning appears, the vehicle cannot shift gears when stationary, the engine idles with abnormal noise, gear shifts feel jerky (with noticeable hesitation), and the dashboard displays a constantly illuminated "Transmission Fault Service Required" warning light. After driving several kilometers with this issue, the warning light may disappear upon restarting the vehicle after pulling over and turning off the engine.
