When I disconnect the battery, the CEL will be off for several thousand miles and it will light up again. So the dealer would disconnect the battery a week before inspection. It will pass inspection.
Yes, it is my fault I let them get away with it. I love my Jeep.

Have Autoserve buy you an OBDII Code Reader.
I had a vehicle that did the same thing and no matter what they did to fix it the CEL kept coming back on.
So I bought a INNOVA 3100 CAN/OBDII Code Reader for @ $100.00 at Wal-Mart. It has a feature that allows you to turn the CEL light off and that is what I did until I traded the car in. See YouTube video below.
Here is the tool that I have:
