Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle data API: signals, model years and connection options

Get API keys →

DIMO gives developers API access to Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle data. Model years 2012 and newer connect with a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi). Headline signals include odometer, fuel percentage and vehicle speed.

DIMO offers a Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle data API for 2012 and newer model years, delivered through a DIMO device. DIMO gives developers API access to vehicle-state data: diagnostics, fault codes, battery and fuel health, odometer, and maintenance signals. Coverage for this model is tested, not just expected. The record lists it as a combustion-engine vehicle with global regional coverage.

No factory connectivity?

Jeep Grand Cherokee model years 2012 and newer have no OEM cloud connection listed. For these years, a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi) 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.

Events available

  • Idling
  • Refuel
  • Harsh braking
  • New diagnostic trouble code

Build it

Query the latest Jeep Grand 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 Grand 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 Grand Cherokee?

Yes, with a DIMO device, which reports fuel level as a percentage through the powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel signal in the Telemetry API. The segments API can also detect refuel events using the refuel detection mechanism.

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

Install a DIMO device. It reads vehicle-state signals such as odometer, engine RPM and diagnostic trouble codes, and you query them through the GraphQL Telemetry API using a Vehicle JWT for a vehicle shared with you.

Can I get check-engine light alerts for a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Yes, a DIMO device reports the dtc event along with the obdDTCList signal. The Vehicle Triggers API (webhooks) pushes a POST request to your targetURL when a condition you configure is met, so you don't have to poll.

How do I detect idling on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Use the segments query in the Telemetry API with the idling detection mechanism, which requires a DIMO device. Idle segments are periods where engine RPM stays in the idle range, with maxIdleRpm defaulting to 1000.

How do I verify Jeep Grand Cherokee mileage?

A DIMO device reports odometer readings. Request an odometer statement attestation from the Attestation API at POST /v2/attestation/odometer-statement/:tokenId, then retrieve the verifiable credential through the Telemetry API.

Which Jeep Grand Cherokee model years work with DIMO?

DIMO devices have been seen working on Jeep Grand Cherokee model years 2012 and newer. For older vehicles, contact DIMO for additional support.

Do I need hardware to get Jeep Grand Cherokee data?

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