The check engine light flashed on initial startup, but then went away.

I've intentionally chosen to leave the space free in my brain that would be taken up by knowing how to read these codes because I'll need it for something else. Plus, I have a Renix and those codes are totally different. There is the "Your Jeep is on fire" code and the "Your tire is flat" code.

I think it is code 34 then a long pause, then 1 flash. So 34-1?

I think I would be able to tell if it was something like a Misfire...Engine sounds fine and is driving normal...Maybe it is something I can ignore?
