Default What code is this?

My jeep was acting a little different today so when i got home this evening I decided i would try to check if it was throwing any codes (check engine light wasnt on, but half the lights in my cluster dont work) So i turned the key from on to off 6 times and then back to on and the check engine light flashed 5 times, paused, and flashed another 5 times. What does this mean? Or how do i read this code to see which it is?

I'm pretty sure a 55 is "end of message, no codes found"

Not usually. Most codes are emission based.

I agree that you probably are seeing a 55, which is expected. Means there are no stored codes.

Describe your symptoms in DETAIL for comment.....

well i'm pretty sure i put some age on my clutch because now it lets out at a different spot (i think at least, i may be a hyperchondriac) Seems the power the jeep has has went down (its a 4 banger so I can notice easily lol) and it seems the jeep is shifting smoother This is all happening today, I havent checked anything except the oil, air filter, and power steering fluid
