The Jeep XJ, affectionately known as the Cherokee, was a compact sport utility vehicle produced by American automaker Jeep from 1984 to 2001. The 2000 model year saw several updates, including the introduction of the 4.0-liter inline-six engine, which became the standard powerplant for the XJ. This engine offered increased power and torque compared to its predecessor, making the XJ a capable off-roader. The 2000 model year also saw the introduction of a new dashboard design featuring a digital instrument cluster and a more modern interior. While the 2000 XJ was known for its off-road capabilities and rugged design, it also incorporated numerous safety features including a driver's side airbag and anti-lock brakes, further enhancing its appeal.

The 08J turn signal and hazard warning system is an integral part of the 2000 Jeep XJ's safety features. This electrical system integrates turn signals, hazard lights, and other warning lights, ensuring safe lane changes, signalling intentions to other drivers, and providing visibility in hazardous situations. The 08J system utilizes a combination of relays, switches, and electrical wiring to control the functionality of the turn signals and hazard lights. The system's primary function is to activate specific bulbs in the vehicle's front and rear lights based on the driver's input from the steering column's turn signal stalk or the hazard warning switch. The system's reliability is critical, as it contributes significantly to overall road safety. A properly functioning 08J system ensures that drivers and other road users receive clear and timely cues regarding the vehicle's intended movements, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing safety on the road.
