Check the TIPM relays. Unfortunately, the OP didn't provide detail on which one was bad but possibly you are experiencing the same failure?

How to Reset the ECU on a Jeep Wrangler JK
While there are folks that swear resetting your ECU does absolutely nothing, it's a common practice among automotive enthusiasts. The ECU (Electronic Control Module) "learns" your driving style and the parts in your ride by storing information in its memory, information that it gathers using a...

I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler with same issues! Delayed starting, engine jerking when put in gear, hot oil light & traction control light coming on. Took it to dealership, they cleaned grounds and changed the transmission temp sensor. Ran fine for a few days, but issues started again, along with the check engine light this time. Did changing the TIPM relay alleviate the problems?

Hello,
Restarting this conversation with a little bit of a twist.
I have had similar issues to what everyone else here has had. I'm going to walk through the things that I've done although I have not yet fixed the problem so I'd like recommendations on the next step.
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sport, V6, 50,000 miles.
Symptoms are identical to many of the very first post. These things happen, hot/cold, after sitting for 3 days or for 3 minutes in a parking lot.
What did I try all of these had zero impact
I went to the dealership and spoke with a tech. He said very quickly when I described the issue was to replace the TIPM. It's an $811 part through MOPAR.
Thoughts on this? Should I bite the bullet and assume it's the TIPM?

Depress brake, turn on key and the engine either stutters or I get nothing but chimes from the dash.
Occasional "HOT OIL" indicator light
Occasional clicking from relays in the TIPM, sometimes very rapid, like a buzz sometimes slower (1/2 second).
8 to 10 tries of cycling power and the engine does turn over.
NO issues while driving
NO issues shifting (automatic transmission).
What did I try all of these had zero impact
I hooked up a trickle charger to battery, also hooked up my F250 Diesel on jumper cables. No impact.
Swapped R5 and R6 relays assume they both can't be bad at the same time and R5 is the important relay for starting
Checked all ground connections using an ohm meter
Pulled TIPM completely out, removed all relays and fuses. Washed what I could with CRC electrical cleaner. Applied dielectric compound to all connectors. Reinstalled TIPM.
Now here's a little bit of information I have NOT seen here on the forum. When the key is on and get all the chimes and "HOT OIL" indication, leave the key "ON", walk around to the TIPM and rap it with my knuckles. Yes literally like knocking on it to wake it up. Something (Relay) in the TIPM closes, fuel pump kicks on (assume that's the noise I hear) and then when I go back to the ignition and turn to "START" position the engine will start all the time.I went to the dealership and spoke with a tech.

Reach out to them. They may not have any cores for your vehicle… they also offer repair services.
Not sure if that’s an option on yours, depends on what has failed.
If you opt to repair yours, they will advise regarding the process and cost.

they do have a 2016 exact TIPM but with shipping the price is only $75 below new OEM. Thanks
