Jeep Cherokee Vehicle Data API: Signals & Model Years

DIMO gives developers API access to Jeep Cherokee vehicle data. Model years 2015 and newer connect with a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1). Headline signals include odometer, fuel percentage and vehicle speed.

DIMO gives developers API access to vehicle-state data: diagnostics, fault codes, battery and fuel health, odometer, and maintenance signals. For the Jeep Cherokee, coverage comes through a DIMO device, the DIMO LTE R1, on model years 2015 and newer. This coverage has been tested rather than assumed. The record lists no OEM or other connection types for this vehicle. DIMO adds vehicle-state depth on top of GPS tracking; it doesn't replace it.

No factory connectivity?

Jeep Cherokee model years 2015 and newer have no OEM cloud connection listed. For these years, a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1) plugs into the OBD-II port and streams vehicle signals once the owner connects it and consents to sharing.

See the developer quickstart for how owners connect vehicles and grant access.

Build it

Query the latest Jeep Cherokee signals with the DIMO TypeScript SDK. The vehicle owner must first share access with your app through DIMO Connect.

import { DIMO } from '@dimo-network/data-sdk';

const dimo = new DIMO('Production');
const tokenId = Number(process.env.DIMO_TOKEN_ID); // from DIMO Connect

const developerJwt = await dimo.auth.getDeveloperJwt({
  client_id: process.env.DIMO_CLIENT_ID,
  domain: process.env.DIMO_REDIRECT_URI,
  private_key: process.env.DIMO_API_KEY,
});
const vehicleJwt = await dimo.tokenexchange.getVehicleJwt({
  ...developerJwt,
  tokenId,
});

// Latest Jeep Cherokee signals
const data = await dimo.telemetry.query({
  ...vehicleJwt,
  query: `
    query {
      signalsLatest(tokenId: ${tokenId}) {
      powertrainTransmissionTravelledDistance {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      speed {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      }
    }`,
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));

FAQ

Can I read fuel level remotely on a Jeep Cherokee?

Yes. A DIMO device reports fuel level as the Fuel Percentage signal (powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel) in %. You can query it through the Telemetry API, using a Vehicle JWT obtained from the Token Exchange API.

How do I track a Jeep Cherokee with no connected services?

Use a DIMO device. The Jeep Cherokee record lists the DIMO LTE R1 as its connection, so no OEM connected services are needed. Once the vehicle is shared with your Developer License, you can read its signals through the Telemetry API.

How do I detect idling on a Jeep Cherokee?

Query the Telemetry API segments resource with the idling detection mechanism, which requires a DIMO device. Idling segments are contiguous periods where engine RPM stays in the idle range, and you can tune the idle limit with maxIdleRpm (default 1000).

How do I verify Jeep Cherokee mileage?

A DIMO device reports the Odometer signal (powertrainTransmissionTravelledDistance) in km. To get verifiable proof, call the Attestation API odometer-statement endpoint with a Vehicle JWT, then retrieve the attestation through the Telemetry API.

Which Jeep Cherokee model years work with DIMO?

DIMO devices have been seen working on Jeep Cherokee model years 2015 and newer. For older vehicles, contact DIMO for additional support.

Do I need hardware to get Jeep Cherokee data?

Yes. DIMO lists no OEM cloud connection for the Jeep Cherokee, so data comes from a DIMO device.
