I believe the 55 code means "End of Codes". There were no errors found.
What was the number on the odometer?

The code 55 means "end of codes". You aren't getting any other numbers because there are no diagnostic trouble codes related to the PCM, BCM, or other monitored systems. The ABS is not a monitored system.
ABS Warning Lamp Display
The amber antilock lamp illuminates at startup as part of the system self check feature. The lamp illuminates for 1-3 seconds then goes off as part of the normal bulb check routine.
An ABS circuit fault is indicated when the amber lamp remains on after startup, or illunimates at any time during vehicle operation.
Verify that a fault is actually related to the ABS system before making repairs. For example, if the red lamp illuminates but the amber ABS lamp does not, the problem is related to a service brake component and not the ABS system. Or, if neither lamp illuminates but a brake problem is noted, again, the problem is with a service brake component and not with the ABS system.
ABS diagnosis is performed with the DRB scan tool. Diagnosis information is provided in the Chassis Diagnostic Manual.
The ABS diagnostic connector is located inside the vehicle. The connector is the access point for the DRB scan tool. The connector is blue or black in color and is a 6-way type. The connector is under the carpet at the forward end of the console just under the IP center.
That being said, the first thing to check if you are having a problem with ABS, is the wheel speed sensors at each wheel. You don't have to touch them, but ensure they are all clean by directing water from the garden hose or car wash into the area between the sensor pickup and the tone ring. Next, ensure none of the wires from the sensors are cut or disconnected. You can follow the wires from each wheel hub along the axle housing to the point they enter the body of the Jeep. The rear sensors enter the body underneath the rear driver's side seat. Troubleshooting beyond this will require use of the DRB scan tool.

the abs light came on about one month ago then went away after about one day.
