CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Page 199 of 1378
1) Once all diagnostic trouble codes have been obtained,
diagnostic trouble code(s) can be erased from TCM memory by
disconnecting electrical connector from TCM for at least 15 seconds.
CAUTION: DO NOT disconnect battery, as data stored in other vehicle
control modules will be lost.
2) The TCM is located behind right side of instrument panel
on Cherokee. See Fig. 1.
DRB-II OPERATING MODES
NOTE: The DRB-II can be operated in several different modes to
perform various tests. Except for voltmeter/ohmmeter and HOW
TO USE modes, all other operating modes are selected from
AW4 MENU. See ENTERING AW4 MENU under RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODES.
VOLTMETER/OHMMETER MODE
To access voltmeter/ohmmeter mode, connect Red volt-ohmmeter
test lead to Red port at top right corner of DRB-II. There are 2
different ports on top of DRB-II; ensure test lead is connected to
proper port. Access voltmeter or ohmmeter mode using manufacturer's
instructions.
NOTE: The DRB-II is grounded through transmission diagnostic
connector and only one test lead is required. When
diagnosing transmission, an external volt-ohmmeter may
sometimes be required.
HOW TO USE MODE
1) This mode gives instructions on DRB-II usage. To enter
this mode, see steps 1) through 4) of ENTERING AW4 MENU under
RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES . Select 2) HOW TO USE.
2) A series of screens will be displayed explaining DRB-II
key usage for system diagnosing.
SYSTEM TEST MODE
NOTE: SYSTEM TEST mode consists of a stationary test and a road
test. The SYSTEM TEST mode must be selected from AW4 MENU.
See ENTERING AW4 MENU under RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODES.
1) Stationary test monitors transmission system data, current
valve body solenoid failures, switch failures, correct TCM
application, calibration and operation. Road test checks all valve
body solenoids and speed sensor.
2) Technician will be instructed to place shift lever in each
gear position, starting by shifting into 1-2 position. Once
transmission is in Park, brake pedal must be depressed to check brake
switch.
3) After brake switch is checked, technician will be
instructed to slowly depress throttle. DRB-II will display 7 asterisks
( ******* ) corresponding to throttle position. While depressing
accelerator, Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) sweeps through entire
range of positions required by the TCM.
4) A corresponding asterisk will be cleared from DRB-II
display as each throttle position is sensed by TCM. Several attempts
may be required to clear all asterisks from the display, depending on
Page 200 of 1378
how fast accelerator is depressed.
5) After throttle position is checked, technician will be
instructed to drive the vehicle. The DRB-II will indicate if a
requested action is seen by the TCM. If technician is requested to
perform a particular operation and TCM does not acknowledge the
action, press ENTER key to continue testing.
6) The TCM will instruct technician to accelerate vehicle at
light throttle to ensure transmission shifts through all gears,
indicating proper valve body solenoid operation.
7) During road test, ensure vehicle can be accelerated slowly
and evenly to allow transmission to enter all gear ranges without
downshifting or braking. If a failure is sensed, a diagnostic trouble
code will be displayed on DRB-II.
NOTE: If TCM senses a failure, control logic activates a specified
valve body solenoid to obtain a certain gear depending on
failure. Because transmission diagnostic trouble codes are
displayed one at a time, multiple diagnostic trouble codes
must be identified by retesting transmission.
STATE DISPLAY MODE
NOTE: STATE DISPLAY mode must be selected from AW4 MENU. See
ENTERING AW4 MENU under RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .
Select 3) STATE DISPLAY on DRB-II.
Module Information
When selecting module information option, the TCM version
will be indicated by a 2-digit number. Information can be used to
verify proper TCM application.
Sensor
1) When selecting sensor option, TPS and RPM indications will
be shown. The TPS indicator will display a 7 segment bar graph,
indicating TPS position and throttle plate angle.
2) A properly operating TPS should indicate 7 segments
through full throttle travel. The RPM indicator will display
transmission output shaft revolutions per minute.
Brake Switch Or Input/Output
Display indicates brake switch status, indicating whether
brake pedal is applied or released. Display also indicates shift lever
position, whether a valve body solenoid is on or off and present
transmission operating gear.
DRB-II PROBLEMS & ERROR MESSAGES
CARTRIDGE ERROR
1) If CARTRIDGE ERROR message is displayed, disconnect DRB-II
from transmission diagnostic connector. DO NOT touch keys on DRB-II
keypad. Reconnect DRB-II to transmission diagnostic connector and note
display.
2) If CARTRIDGE ERROR message is displayed, replace DRB-II
cartridge and proceed with diagnostics. If KEYPAD TEST FAILURE message
is displayed, replace DRB-II and proceed with diagnostics.
HIGH BATTERY
If HIGH BATTERY message is displayed, use external voltmeter
to check battery voltage at battery terminals. If battery voltage is
11.7-13.0 volts, replace DRB-II. If battery voltage is not 11.7-13.0

2) Connect the DRB-II to the transmission diagnostic
connector. See RETRIEVING FAULT CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM for
diagnostic connector location.
CAUTION: If the vehicle is in 3rd or OD position and feels like it
is stuck in 3rd or jumping from 2-1 or 3-1, perform
TEST 10A - TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT SPEED SENSOR test below.
3) With the DRB-II, perform SYSTEM TEST. See SYSTEM TEST MODE
under DRB-II OPERATING MODES .
4) The DRB-II will instruct you to do some actions during the
System Test. The DRB-II will then look for the action to happen and
automatically go to the next test function. If you perform the
required action and the DRB-II does not move to the next function,
press ENTER. The DRB-II will continue the testing.
5) When the DRB-II states "VEHICLE DRIVE", the vehicle be
must be driven at a speed above 4 miles per hour to ensure accurate
testing of the vehicle speed sensor. Afterwards, the DRB-II will
display any fault codes that may be present.
6) When the system test is complete, if there are any fault
codes present, the DRB-II will automatically display the code(s).
7) There are two types of faults for the transmission
solenoids. They are displayed as "FAULT STORED" and "FAULT PRESENT".
Note that the tests are different in the chart below.
8) Perform the tests shown below in response to the indicated
fault codes.
NOTE: ALWAYS start diagnosis with the most recent code.
