SPEED CONTROLÐPCM INPUT
The speed control system provides three separate
inputs to the powertrain control module (PCM); On/
Off, Set and Resume. The On/Off input informs the
PCM that the speed control system has been acti-
vated. The Set input informs the PCM that a fixed
vehicle speed has been selected. The Resume input
indicates to the PCM that the previous fixed speed is
requested.
The speed control operating range is from 50 km/h
to 142 km/h (35 to 85 mph). Inputs that effect speed
control operation are:
²Park/neutral switch
²Vehicle speed sensor
²Throttle position sensor
Refer to Group 8H for further speed control infor-
mation.
SENSOR RETURNÐPCM INPUT
Sensor Return provides a low noise ground refer-
ence for all system sensors.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)ÐPCM INPUT
The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on
the throttle body (Figs. 14 or 15). The TPS is a vari-
able resistor that provides the powertrain control
module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that
represents throttle blade position. The sensor is con-
nected to the throttle blade shaft. As the position of
the throttle blade changes, the resistance of the TPS
changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the
TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The
PCM receives an input signal voltage from the TPS.
This will vary in an approximate range of from 1
volt at minimum throttle opening (idle), to 4 volts at
wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other sen-
sors, the PCM uses the TPS input to determine cur-rent engine operating conditions. In response to
engine operating conditions, the PCM will adjust fuel
injector pulse width and ignition timing.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The vehicle speed sensor (Fig. 16) is located in the
extension housing of the transmission (2 wheel drive)
or on the transfer case extension housing (4 wheel
drive). The sensor input is used by the powertrain
control module (PCM) to determine vehicle speed and
distance traveled.
The speed sensor generates 8 pulses per sensor rev-
olution. These signals, in conjunction with a closed
throttle signal from the throttle position sensor, indi-
cate a closed throttle deceleration to the PCM. When
the vehicle is stopped at idle, a closed throttle signal
is received by the PCM (but a speed sensor signal is
not received).
Under deceleration conditions, the PCM adjusts the
idle air control (IAC) motor to maintain a desired
MAP value. Under idle conditions, the PCM adjusts
the IAC motor to maintain a desired engine speed.

the sensor will not rotate, install the sensor with the
throttle shaft on the other side of the socket tangs).
The TPS will be under slight tension when rotated.
(1) Install the TPS and retaining bolts.
(2) Connect TPS electrical connector to TPS.
(3) Manually operate the throttle (by hand) to
check for any TPS binding before starting the en-
gine.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH RELAY
On YJ models, the TCC relay is located in the en-
gine compartment. It is attached to the cowl panel
with one bolt (Fig. 20). On XJ models, the TCC relay
is located in the power distribution center (PDC)
(Fig. 21). For location of this relay within the PDC,
refer to label on PDC cover.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR
The vehicle speed sensor (Fig. 22) is located on the
extension housing of the transmission on 2WD mod-
els. It is located on the transfer case on 4WD models.
REMOVAL
(1) Raise and support vehicle.
(2) Disconnect the electrical connector from the
sensor.
(3) Remove the sensor mounting bolt (Fig. 23).

GENERAL INFORMATION
PROPELLER SHAFTS
The function of a propeller shaft is to transmit
power from one point to another. The shaft is de-
signed to send torque from the transmission (transfer
case on 4WD vehicles) to the axle (Fig. 1,2).The propeller shaft must operate through con-
stantly changing relative angles between the trans-
mission and axle. It must also be capable of changing
length while transmitting torque. The axle rides sus-
pended by springs in a floating motion. The prop-
