Need to read fault codes, reset the service light or check a warning lamp on your Compass without a workshop trip? Motortune turns your iPhone and an ELM327 / OBD-II adapter into a scanner for the Jeep Compass (type MP): it walks every control unit it can reach, names each fault in plain language, resets the service reminder and runs guided service routines. Free to scan; the one-time $18.99 Motortune Pro adds the write features.

Adapter

14 of 32 control units — including the engine — sit on the standard OBD pins, which any ELM327 v1.5+ adapter reaches. 12 more are on the slower interior bus (MS-CAN, pins 3/11): reaching those needs an adapter with an MS-CAN transceiver, such as the OBDLink MX+ or vLinker MC+. 6 sit on a second CAN or the body bus that only a vLinker MS switches to by itself (untested on hardware so far).

Compass — frequently asked

Does Motortune work with the Jeep Compass?

Yes. The Jeep Compass (type MP) is in Motortune’s catalog with 32 control units, 32 of which Motortune can reach with the right adapter. Coverage is mapped from the diagnostic catalog; try Demo mode and the in-app compatibility check on your car before relying on it.

How do I read fault codes on a Jeep Compass?

Plug an ELM327 / OBD-II adapter into the Compass’s diagnostic socket, switch the ignition on, and connect from Motortune on your iPhone. It walks every control unit it can reach — engine, gearbox, drivetrain, brakes / abs and more — and lists each fault in plain language with the unit that reported it. Reading codes is free; clearing them is part of the one-time Motortune Pro.

Can I reset the service light on a Compass myself?

Yes. Motortune resets the service / oil-change reminder on the Jeep Compass the way a workshop tester does, with a guided step-by-step sheet. The service reset is part of the one-time $18.99 Motortune Pro.

Which service functions does Motortune run on the Compass?

Adaptations & resets, Calibrations, DPF & exhaust, Gearbox learns, Battery registration — 14 guided routines across this model’s control units. The app confirms each unit’s software version before offering one, so what you see on your car can be a subset. Part of Pro.

What adapter do I need for the Compass?

14 of 32 control units — including the engine — sit on the standard OBD pins, which any ELM327 v1.5+ adapter reaches. 12 more are on the slower interior bus (MS-CAN, pins 3/11): reaching those needs an adapter with an MS-CAN transceiver, such as the OBDLink MX+ or vLinker MC+. 6 sit on a second CAN or the body bus that only a vLinker MS switches to by itself (untested on hardware so far).
