You really need to get a code reader and plug it in (others on here are best suited to tell you which you'll need, depending on which engine, etc, you've got).
Could be almost anything - my light came on and when I read the code it was for a 'random misfire' :blink: Everything was running just fine so I put some engine cleaner in my fuel and it never came back - unfortunately the light covers everything from that through to larger issues....

Most likely to be Cam or crank sensor but you really do need to get a code reader on there.

You have to identify which age/version of Jimny you have. If its an OBD2 based ECU then the cheap readers on EBay will work. Otherwise you will need the reader in my store.
