Right now, my Jeep is driving different than it did before. Instead of the RPMs seemingly being in control and shifting awesomely, now when I accelerate at all, even from like 20-40 the RPMs rev up to like 5-6000. I'm sure it wasn't doing this before.
Here's what happened that may be related:
I left today without putting on my seatbelt and since I was moving it wouldn't let me pull it out, so I stopped at the end of the driveway and put it in park and the seatbelt still wouldn't budge, so I turned the car off and I still don't think it budged, so I turned it on and off again real quick and then the seatbelt came loose and I turned the car on again and started to drive. At this point is when it started, and then a message came on the digital display in the dash that said 'Programming Active'. And that's when the RPMs started to act up.
I have no idea what the programming active message was referring to and have looked all in the Manual and these boards. I know there was a 1-2 shift problem from http://www.cherokeesrt8.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1063&highlight=1st+2nd
that link. But I dont think that is what I'm experiencing. Tomorrow is Saturday and I'm 2 1/2 hours from my dealer so I'd like to figure out if I can fix this on my own. Thanks for the help, and sorry if I'm retarded.
edit: Also the message it said may have been programming activated, or program active, or programming active or program activated, i'm not sure which. It wasn't on there for long and I can't remember specificlaly what it was or if anything came before it.
