Don't continue driving. Ignoring these lights could lead to costly repairs.
The combination of both lights suggests a problem that's impacting multiple systems. Possible causes include but aren't limited to:
* Low oil pressure: This is a critical issue. Low oil pressure means your engine isn't getting enough lubrication, which will quickly cause catastrophic damage if not addressed. Check your oil level immediately. If it's low, adding oil might be a temporary fix, but you still need professional diagnosis.
* Overheating: The engine might be overheating, which could lead to warped cylinder heads, cracked engine blocks, and other expensive repairs. Check your coolant level.
* Electrical problem: A serious electrical fault affecting the engine's computer or sensors could trigger both lights.
* Transmission problem: Though less likely, transmission issues could also trigger these warnings.
What to do:
1. Safely pull over: Find a safe location to stop driving immediately.
2. Check your oil: Check the oil level using the dipstick. If it's low or you see a milky substance (indicating coolant in the oil), this is a serious problem. Do *not* add oil if you suspect coolant contamination.
3. Check your coolant: Verify the coolant level is within the normal range in the coolant reservoir. If it's low or if the coolant is discolored or has an oily sheen, you have a problem.
4. Have it towed: Do not attempt to drive the vehicle until it has been professionally diagnosed and repaired. Tow it to a qualified mechanic or Jeep specialist.
5. Obtain a diagnostic scan: A mechanic will use a scan tool to read the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the vehicle's computer. These codes will help pinpoint the exact cause of the problem.
Ignoring this warning could result in significant and costly engine damage. Professional diagnosis and repair are essential.
