Default Check Engine Light On

Yesterday went to start ny jeep ( 99 xj sports ) and did not start after 3 or 4 turns of the key, after about 15-20 second it started. It seemed to run a littel rough and the check engine light came on. I checked under the bonnet today eveything seems to be ok but the light is still on.Had a look at gojeep site to check codes, but I believe it dosn`t work on 99 model, when you press the ode button and turn the ignition key. all I got was 1111111to 999999 and no codes. any suggestions

With 96+ OBDII you need to flick the ignition on and off 4 times, on the forth you leave it on after a few seconds the Check Engine light should start flashing you the codes.
