More than likely a o2 sensor went bad if you are smelling exhaust fumes

It could also be a plugged cat converter causing the computer to throw codes. More than likely an o2.

first thing I would do before even getting a scanner is to diconnect the battery to reset the computer. The computer might have had a little hiccup with the change in altitude. With code clear, drive it around a bit to see how it runs and if the light remains off. Also, search on Pirate4x4. Tons of info there on things like this.
Also, I don't know if you do or not, but if you have a K&N Filter, throw it in the garbage. They are no good for the trails and collect tons of dirt which cause computer problems.

Did you check the water bottle...sometimes when they get dehydrated the squirrels won't run anymore.
