The error code 43 for the 2005 Jeep Liberty isn't a genuine error code; it's actually just a designation for the instrument cluster. If this code is displayed, it was likely triggered accidentally and doesn't signify any specific issue.

In vehicles equipped with electronic control units like ECU or PCM that store diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from various sensors in the engine, transmission, and body, it's important to connect a diagnostic tool after an incident like hitting a deer to reset and calibrate the cameras and sensors. Otherwise, you may encounter multiple DTCs and malfunctions in components that weren't even damaged in the accident. I recently worked on a Subaru Legacy that was hit by a deer and then a llama, resulting in 52 DTCs, with 51 stored and 2 active. The Air Conditioner and Information panel were not functioning properly until I cleared the codes, resolving the issues. I also discovered the battery had weakened, which was replaced under warranty. After completing the diagnostics and repairs, I collected my fee and moved on to the next job, haha.

It's a common issue with the Jeep Liberty models that the cluster has been improved over time, especially when addressing the problematic 3.7 L V6 engine that tended to overheat due to restricted oil channels in the block. The all-aluminum engine may also face issues if it runs too hot, particularly when using fuel with ethanol. Residue buildup around the valves and cylinders can lead to engine failure. I experienced a situation where the engine failed, resulting in multiple holes in the oil pan. I actually felt relieved when it finally happened. Resetting the Instrument cluster can be done using a Launch Diagnostic tool, which is worth looking into. If you enjoy DIY projects like me, having such a tool can save you money and help you better understand your vehicle. Providing feedback to the tool manufacturer may result in receiving directions or upgrades for programming your Jeep Liberty without spending a significant amount.
