Anyone know about it? I'm finding multiple answers for the same code, some don't even apply to the kj.

P3538 Interesting. Is there a light on for engine or transmission? Have you cleared the code does it come back ?

Engine light's on for a separate, old issue, and the code only comes up while running, doesn't limp mode or anything, and it disappears after power off/on.

Strange, apparently it's a generic code. I just hope the jeep doesn't get sick & need some generic drugs in the future !;)
I noticed this code is not mentioned in our Generic Chrysler Diagnostic trouble code list.
This site seems to suggest it's related to Transmission: http://p3538.enginecodes.net/
Any trans temp light ever seen? What is the old code # ?
Is your ATF+4 at the full line after driving around hot ? (check while still running)

Interesting, trans seems good right now. But, I did find a new problem: little elbows coming off the pcv have failed. One looks completely normal and clean, until under vacuum, then tiny cracks show up. The other has somehow sucked itself nearly flat. So yeah, gonna fix those come Monday.

Edit: any one just replace that whole thing with an appropriately sized hose?

Sure why not. I had thought at one point of using clear, see though PCV hoses.
You could then see how much if any oil/ blowby are in them, & shake them out every once in a while if needed.
