1994 JEEP CHEROKEE heating

OVERDRIVE/OVERRIDE SWITCH
On vehicles equipped with overdrive, the power-
train control module (PCM) regulates the 3-4 over-
drive up-shift and down-shift through the overdrive
solenoid.
Refer to Group 21 for more information.
OXYGEN (O2S) SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The O2S sensor is located in the exhaust down pipe
(Fig. 11). It provides an input voltage to the power-
train control module (PCM) relating the oxygen con-
tent of the exhaust gas. The PCM uses this
information to fine tune the air-fuel ratio by adjust-
ing injector pulse width.
The O2S sensor produces voltages from 0 to 1 volt.
This voltage will depend upon the oxygen content of
the exhaust gas in the exhaust manifold. When a
large amount of oxygen is present (caused by a lean
air-fuel mixture), the sensor produces a low voltage.
When there is a lesser amount present (rich air-fuel
mixture) it produces a higher voltage. By monitoring
the oxygen content and converting it to electrical
voltage, the sensor acts as a rich-lean switch.
The oxygen sensor is equipped with a heating ele-
ment that keeps the sensor at proper operating tem-
perature during all operating modes. Maintaining
correct sensor temperature at all times allows the
system to enter into closed loop operation sooner.
In Closed Loop operation, the powertrain control
module (PCM) monitors the O2S sensor input (along
with other inputs). It then adjusts the injector pulse
width accordingly. During Open Loop operation, the
PCM ignores the O2S sensor input and adjusts injec-
tor pulse width to a preprogrammed value (based on
other sensor inputs).
PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
The park/neutral switch is located on the transmis-
sion housing and provides an input to the powertrain
control module (PCM). This will indicate that the au-
tomatic transmission is in Park, Neutral or a drivegear selection. This input is used to determine idle
speed (varying with gear selection), fuel injector
pulse width and ignition timing advance. Refer to
Group 21, Transmissions, for testing, replacement
and adjustment information.
POWER GROUND
The power ground is used to control ground circuits
for the following powertrain control module (PCM)
loads:
²Generator Field Winding
²8 volt (PCM) power supply
²Fuel Injectors
²Ignition Coil
POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCHÐPCM
INPUT
A pressure sensing switch is included in the power
steering system (mounted on the high-pressure line).
This switch will be on vehicles equipped with a 2.5L
engine and power steering. The switch (Fig. 12 YJ
Models or Fig. 13 XJ Models) provides an input to
the PCM. This input is provided during periods of
high pump load and low engine rpm; such as during
parking maneuvers. The PCM will then increase the
idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
This is done to prevent the engine from stalling un-
der the increased load.
When steering pump pressure exceeds 1896 kPa6
172 kPa (275625 psi) the PCM will increase the en-
gine idle speed. This will prevent the engine from
stalling.
SCI RECEIVEÐPCM INPUT
SCI Receive is the serial data communication re-
ceive circuit for the DRB scan tool. The powertrain
control module (PCM) receives data from the DRB
through the SCI Receive circuit.

AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CLUTCH RELAYÐPCM
OUTPUT
The powertrain control module (PCM) activates the
A/C compressor through the A/C clutch relay. The
PCM regulates A/C compressor operation by switch-
ing the ground circuit for the A/C clutch relay on
and off. The relay is located in the Power Distribu-
tion Center (PDC) (Figs. 17 or 18). For the location of
the relay within the PDC, refer to label on PDC
cover.
When the PCM receives a request for A/C from A/C
evaporator switch, it will adjust idle air control (IAC)
motor position. This is done to increase idle speed.
The PCM will then activate the A/C clutch through
the A/C clutch relay. The PCM adjusts idle air con-
trol (IAC) stepper motor position to compensate for
increased engine load from the A/C compressor.
By switching the ground path for the relay on and
off, the PCM is able to cycle the A/C compressor
clutch. This is based on changes in engine operating
conditions. If, during A/C operation, the PCM senses
low idle speeds or a wide open throttle condition, itwill de-energize the relay. This prevents A/C clutch
engagement. The relay will remain de-energized un-
til the idle speed increases or the wide open throttle
condition exceeds 15 seconds or no longer exists. The
PCM will also de-energize the relay if coolant tem-
perature exceeds 125ÉC (257ÉF).
AUTO SHUT DOWN (ASD) RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay is located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) (Figs. 17 or 18). For the location of this
relay within the PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
The ASD supplies battery voltage to the fuel pump,
fuel injector, ignition coil, generator field winding
and oxygen (O2S) sensor heating element. The
ground circuit for the coil in the ASD relay is con-
trolled by the powertrain control module (PCM). The
PCM operates the relay by switching the ground cir-
cuit on and off.
The fuel pump relay is controlled by the PCM
through same circuit that the ASD relay is con-
trolled.
The powertrain control module (PCM) energizes
the fuel pump through the fuel pump relay. (The
PCM was formerly referred to as the SBEC or engine
controller). Battery voltage is applied to the relay
from the ignition switch. The relay is energized when
a ground is provided by the PCM. The relay is lo-
cated in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) (Figs.
17 or 18). For the location of fuel pump relay within
PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
For the 1994 model year, the ballast resistor and
ballast resistor bypass relay are no longer used to
control the fuel pump circuit.

GENERAL INFORMATION
All 2.5L 4 cylinder and 4.0L 6 cylinder engines are
equipped with sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection
(MFI). The MFI system provides precise air/fuel ra-
tios for all driving conditions.
VISUAL INSPECTION
A visual inspection for loose, disconnected, or incor-
rectly routed wires and hoses should be made. This
should be done before attempting to diagnose or ser-
vice the fuel injection system. A visual check will
help spot these faults and save unnecessary test and
diagnostic time. A thorough visual inspection will in-
clude the following checks:
(1) Verify that the 60-way connector is fully inserted
into the connector of the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) (Figs. 1 or 2). Verify that the connector mount-
ing bolt is tightened to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.) torque.
(2) Inspect the battery cable connections. Be sure
they are clean and tight.
(3) Inspect fuel pump relay and air conditioning com-
pressor clutch relay (if equipped). Inspect ASD relay andradiator fan relay (if equipped) connections. Inspect starter
motor relay connections. Inspect relays for signs of physical
damage and corrosion. The relays are installed in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) (Figs. 3 or 4).

EXTENDED IDLE SWITCH TEST
OPTIONAL POLICE PACKAGE ONLY
OPERATION
The extended idle switch is used to raise the en-
gine idle speed to approximately 1000 rpm when the
shifter is in either the Park or Neutral position. A
rocker-type 2-wire switch (extended idle switch) is
mounted to the instrument panel.This switch is
available only with 4.0L engine when supplied
with the optional police package.
TESTING
The extended idle switch will control a ground cir-
cuit going to the powertrain control module (PCM).
When a ground signal (through this switch) has been
received at pin number 10 in the PCM, engine idle
speed will increase.
Bring the engine to normal operating temperature
and turn the extended idle switch to the ON position.
Engine speed should now increase to approximately
1000 rpm when the shifter is in either the Park or
Neutral position. If engine speed does not increase,
apply a good ground to pin number 10 at the PCM
using a small paper clip. Be careful not to damage
the wiring with the paper clip. If the engine speed
now increases, it can be assumed that the PCM is
functioning correctly. Check the instrument panel
mounted switch for a closed ground circuit when in
the ON position. If the engine speed will not increase
after applying a ground to pin number 10, replace
the PCM. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for
circuit and wiring information.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) TEST
To perform a complete test of the sensor and its cir-
cuitry, refer to DRB scan tool and appropriate Pow-
ertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To test the
sensor only, refer to the following:
The throttle position sensor (TPS) can be tested
with a digital voltmeter. The center terminal of the
TPS is the output terminal (Figs. 39 or 40).
With the ignition key in the ON position, back-
probe the TPS connector. Check the TPS output volt-
age at the center terminal wire of the connector.
Check this at idle (throttle plate closed) and at wide
open throttle (WOT). At idle, TPS output voltage
should must be greater than 200 millivolts. At wide
open throttle, TPS output voltage must be less than
4.8 volts. The output voltage should increase gradu-
ally as the throttle plate is slowly opened from idle to
WOT.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH RELAY TEST
To test the relay only, refer to RelaysÐOperation/
Testing in this section of the group. To test the
torque converter clutch circuit and related compo-nents, refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic
Procedures manual for operation of the DRB scan
tool.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR TEST
To perform a complete test of the sensor and its cir-
cuitry, refer to DRB scan tool and appropriate Pow-
ertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual.
OXYGEN SENSOR (O2S) HEATING ELEMENT TEST
To perform a complete test of the O2S sensor (Fig.
41) and its circuitry, refer to DRB scan tool and ap-
propriate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual.
To test the sensor only, refer to the following:
The oxygen sensor heating element can be tested
with an ohmmeter as follows:
With the sensor at room temperature 25 degrees C
(77 degrees F), disconnect the O2S sensor connector.
Connect the ohmmeter test leads across the white
wire terminals of the sensor connector. Resistance
should be between 5 and 7 ohms. Replace the sensor
if the ohmmeter displays an infinity (open) reading.

A correct lubricant level check can only be made
when the vehicle is level; use a drive-on hoist to en-
sure this. Also allow the lubricant to settle for a
minute or so before checking. These recommenda-
tions will ensure an accurate check and avoid an un-
der-or-overfill condition.
HARD SHIFTING
Hard shifting is usually caused by a low lubricant
level, improper or contaminated lubricants, compo-
nent damage, incorrect clutch adjustment, or by a
damaged clutch pressure plate or disc.
Substantial lubricant leaks can result in gear, shift
rail, synchro and bearing damage. If a leak goes un-
detected for an extended period, the first indications
of a problem are usually hard shifting and noise.
Incorrect or contaminated lubricants can also con-
tribute to hard shifting. The consequence of using
non-recommended lubricants is noise, excessive wear,
internal bind and hard shifting.
Improper clutch release is a frequent cause of hard
shifting. Incorrect adjustment or a worn, damaged
pressure plate or disc can cause incorrect release. If
the clutch problem is advanced, gear clash during
shifts can result.
Worn or damaged synchro rings can cause gear
clash when shifting into any forward gear. In some
new or rebuilt transmissions, new synchro rings maytend to stick slightly causing hard or noisy shifts. In
most cases, this condition will decline as the rings
wear-in.
TRANSMISSION NOISE
Most manual transmissions make some noise dur-
ing normal operation. Rotating gears can generate a
mild whine that may only be audible at extreme
speeds.
Severe, obviously audible transmission noise is
generally the result of a lubricant problem. Insuffi-
cient, improper, or contaminated lubricant can pro-
mote rapid wear of gears, synchros, shift rails, forks
and bearings. The overheating caused by a lubricant
problem, can also lead to gear breakage.
TRANSMISSION REMOVAL
(1) Shift transmission into first or third gear. Then
raise vehicle on hoist.
(2) Support engine with adjustable jack stand. Be
sure to position wood block between jack and oil pan.
(3) Disconnect necessary exhaust system compo-
nents.
(4) Disconnect rear cushion and bracket from
transmission (Fig. 5). Then remove skid plate, or
rear crossmember.
(5) Disconnect transfer case shift linkage, vehicle
speed sensor wires, and vent hose.
