I'm guessing leaking turbo hose for the first one ("Turbo Undercharge"). How about the second ("Vacuum Resevoir Control Circuit Open")?

Had to go to a Jeep dealer to get these codes. Several non-factory scanners including a very expensive Snap-On could not pick them up. Any suggestions as to what you can buy that would emulate the factory equipment like VAG-COM does for VW/Audi?

Thanks for your input.

Autoenginuitydotcom OBD2 pcware, has DCJ Enhanced CAN option, scans all Chrysler products..........

Far as the DTC's, engine idling, check vacuum level at the vacuum reservoir, over behind the airbox adjacent the TCM - the hose coming up from the engine is supply - from there to the solenoid valve - from there to the regulator valve - from there to the turbo diaphragm-actuator

Also check the wiring and connectors on the solenoids

My Innova handles all of the funky codes that a CRD can put out. I had a P1250 when Turbo actuator solenoid went south.

The newer DTC scantools with CAN function should read ok - early OBD2 versions cannot, or are severly limited - iirc, VagCom will also read some of the Jeep codes - if you have it, try it - if not, AE is a full-function scantool, displaying all engine\trans\ABS\BCM\SKREEM\front-module parameters - displays\resets DTC's - does not do any commanded tests, cannot enable\disable options - does not cause glitches like ScanGuage II - SGII with X-gage option does read all parameters, reset all codes, but causes glitches in the ABS module while driving, resulting in transmission clunks\downshifts, etc - can be effectively used as standalone scantool at standstill events - some parameters require manually-enterd CAN addresses for on-screen display - my not-vehicle and not-software savvy son figgered it out last nite, so you guys oughtta be able to do so somewhat easier, eh...................
