Default Check engine light. WTH

My check engine light turns on when my gas tank goes
below half. When I fill up the tank it turns off after a while.
What could cure this issue?

Take it to the dealer you must have a leak. Are you seeing any gas stains on the ground under your Jeep?

You can also read the code with three quick turns to the aux pos, leave in the aux pos on last turn

Not sure about on the JK specifically, but I know some vehicles only run some of the EVAP tests when the tank level drops down to around half or less. Sounds like this could be what's happening, but you should pull the code to confirm.

X2- this will give you your fault code. look it up online. actualy quadratec has alist of all the fault codes i believe and start troubleshooting from there.
