STARTER AND STARTER RELAY
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section covers starter and starter relay service
procedures only. For diagnostic procedures, refer to
Group 8A - Battery/Starting/Charging Systems Diag-
nostics. Service procedures for other starting system
components can be found as follows:
²battery - see Battery, in this group
²ignition switch - refer to Group 8D - Ignition Sys-
tems
²park/neutral position switch (automatic transmis-
sion) - refer to Group 21 - Transmission and Transfer
Case
²wiring harness and connectors - refer to Group 8W
- Wiring Diagrams.
STARTER
The starter motor incorporates several features to
create a reliable, efficient, compact and lightweight
unit. A planetary gear system (intermediate trans-
mission) is used between the electric motor and pin-
ion gear. This feature makes it possible to reduce the
dimensions of the starter. At the same time, it allows
higher armature rotational speed and delivers in-
creased torque through the pinion gear to the fly-
wheel or drive plate ring gear.
The use of a permanent magnet field also reduces
starter size and weight. This field consists of six
high-strength permanent magnets. The magnets are
aligned according to their polarity and are perma-
nently fixed in the starter field frame.
The starter motors for all engines are activated by
a solenoid mounted to the overrunning clutch hous-
ing. However, the starter motor/solenoid are serviced
only as a complete assembly. If either component
fails, the entire assembly must be replaced.
This unit is highly sensitive to hammering, shocks
and external pressure.
CAUTION: The starter motor MUST NOT BE
CLAMPED in a vise by the starter field frame. Doing
so may damage the magnets. It may be clamped by
the mounting flange ONLY.CAUTION: Do not connect starter motor incorrectly
when tests are being performed. The permanent
magnets may be damaged and rendered unservice-
able.
STARTER RELAY
The starter relay is an International Standards Or-
ganization (ISO) type relay, and is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to underside
of PDC cover for relay location.

GENERATOR
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section covers generator service procedures
only. For generator or charging system diagnosis, re-
fer to Group 8A - Battery/Starting/Charging Systems
Diagnostics.
The generator is belt-driven by the engine. All en-
gines use serpentine drive. The generator is serviced
only as a complete assembly. If the generator fails for
any reason, the entire assembly must be replaced.
Two generator output ratings are available, de-
pending upon optional equipment. Be certain that
the replacement generator has the same output rat-
ing as the original unit. Refer to Group 8A - Battery/
Starting/Charging Systems Diagnostics and see
Specifications.
The generator field control (voltage regulator) cir-
cuitry is internal to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). If faulty, the entire PCM must be replaced.
Refer to Group 14 - Fuel System for PCM service
procedure.

GENERAL INFORMATION
An overhead console featuring an electronic com-
pass and thermometer is an available option for XJ
(Cherokee) models. Following are general descrip-
tions of major components used in the overhead con-
sole. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
COMPASS
The compass will display the direction in which the
vehicle is pointed using the eight major compass
headings (Examples: north is N, northeast is NE). It
does not display the headings in actual degrees. The
display is turned on or off using the COMP/TEMP
button to the left of the display.
The self-calibrating compass unit requires no ad-
justing in normal use. The only calibration that may
prove necessary is to drive the vehicle in 3 complete
circles, on level ground, in not less than 48 seconds.
This will reorient the unit to its vehicle.
The unit also will compensate for magnetism the
body of the vehicle may acquire during normal use.
However, avoid placing anything magnetic directly on
the roof of the vehicle. Magnetic mounts for an an-
tenna, a repair order hat or a funeral procession flag
can exceed the compensating ability of the compass
unit if placed on the roof panel. Magnetic bit drivers
used on the fasteners that hold the assembly to the
roof header can also affect compass operation.
If the vehicle roof should become magnetized, the
demagnetizing and calibration procedures may be re-
quired to restore proper operation.
THERMOMETER
The thermometer displays the outside ambient
temperature. The temperature displayed can be
changed from Fahrenheit to Celsius using the US/
METRIC button. The displayed temperature is not
an instant reading of conditions, but an average tem-
perature. It may take the unit several minutes to re-
act to a major temperature change such as driving
out of a heated garage into winter temperatures.
When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the lastdisplayed temperature reading stays in memory.
When the ignition switch is turned ON again, the
thermometer will display the memory temperature
for one minute; then update the display to the cur-
rent average temperature reading within five min-
utes.
READING AND COURTESY LAMPS
All reading and courtesy lamps in the overhead
console are activated by the door jamb switches.
When all doors and the liftgate are closed, the lamps
can be individually activated by depressing the corre-
sponding lens. When a door and/or the liftgate is
open, depressing the lamp lens switches will not turn
the lamps off. Refer to Group 8L - Lamps, for diag-
nosis and service of these lamps.
KEYLESS ENTRY RECEIVER
The overhead console houses the keyless entry re-
ceiver. Refer to Group 8P - Power Locks, for diagno-
sis and service of this component.
REMOTE GARAGE DOOR OPENER STORAGE
A compartment in the overhead console is designed
to hold most remote garage door opener transmitters.
The transmitter is mounted within the compartment
with an adhesive-backed hook and loop fastener
patch. Then one to three pegs are selected and
mounted on a post on the inside of the storage com-
partment door. The pegs may be stacked, if neces-
sary. The peg(s) selected must be long enough to
activate the button of the transmitter each time the
storage compartment door is depressed.
SUNGLASSES STORAGE
A flocked storage compartment for sunglasses is in-
cluded in the overhead console. This compartment
features a push/push-type latch and a viscous damp-
ening system for a fluid opening motion.
