questions about my 94 xj

I just got my 94 xj running. I took it for a fairly long drive and I noticed the temp gauge fluctuated between 180 and 212. when I parked it it shot up to 220 and the aux fan kicked in. What is normal coolant temp? Do I have a problem? Also the check engine light came on how do I check the codes? Anything you can tell me about cherokees would be helpful.

My '98 and a '94 I had both run (ran) at 200*F to 210*F. Most autoparts stores will scan it for free and tell you what the codes are.
