1995 JEEP CHEROKEE dash

The MAP sensor is mounted on the dash panel.
The sensor is connected to the throttle body with a
vacuum hose and to the PCM electrically.
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 drive
gear selection. This input is used to determine idle
speed (varying with gear selection), fuel injector
pulse width, ignition timing advance and vehiclespeed control operation. Refer to Group 21, Transmis-
sions, for testing, replacement and adjustment infor-
mation.
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 (figure 12, YJ
models or figure 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.

driven by the torque converter. The converter is con-
nected to the engine crankshaft through the drive-
plate.
The pressure regulator valve maintains line pres-
sure. The regulator valve is located in the valve body.
The amount of line pressure developed is controlled
by throttle pressure, which is dependent on the de-
gree of throttle opening.
The governor valve is operated by the transmission
output shaft. Governor pressure increases approxi-
mately in proportion to vehicle speed.
The throttle valve determines line pressure and
shift speed. The throttle valve also controls upshift
and downshift speeds by regulating pressure in con-
junction with throttle position.
Shift Valves
The manual valve is operated by the gearshift link-
age and provides the operating range selected by the
driver.
The 1-2 shift valve provides automatic 1-2 or 2-1
shifts and the 2-3 shift valve provides automatic 2-3
or 3-2 shifts. The kickdown valve provides forced 3-2
or 3-1 downshifts depending on vehicle speed. Down-
shifts occur when the throttle is opened beyond
downshift detent position which is just before wide
open throttle.
The 2-3 valve throttle pressure plug provides 3-2
downshifts with varying throttle openings and de-
pending on vehicle speed. The 1-2 shift control valve
transmits 1-2 shift pressure to the accumulator pis-
ton to control kickdown band capacity on 1-2 upshifts
and 3-2 downshifts.The shuttle valve has two functions. First is fast
front band release and smooth engagement during
lift-foot 2-3 upshifts. The second is to regulate front
clutch and band application during 3-2 downshifts.
Clutches-Bands-Servos-Accumulator
The front/rear clutch pistons and servo pistons are
actuated by line pressure. When line pressure is re-
moved, the pistons are released by spring tension.
On 2-3 upshifts, the front servo piston is released
by spring tension and hydraulic pressure. The accu-
mulator controls hydraulic pressure on the apply side
of the front servo during 1-2 upshifts and at all
throttle openings.
Converter Clutch Controls
Converter clutch operation is controlled by the
power train control module, and by the solenoid and
clutch module on the valve body. The solenoid is op-
erated by a relay on the engine compartment side of
the dash panel.
Activating the solenoid opens a vent allowing fluid
to flow into the clutch module. When line pressure
exceeds tension of the module valve springs, the
module valves open. This allows fluid to be chan-
neled to the converter clutch through the reaction
shaft support and transmission shaft.
Gearshift And Park Lock Controls
The gearshift lever provides six operating positions:
Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and the D, 2 and
1 forward drive ranges.
Manual 1 position provides first gear only. Overrun
braking occurs in 1 range when the throttle is re-
leased. Upshifts are not provided in 1 range.
Manual 2 range provides first and second gear. A
1-2 upshift will take place but a 2-3 upshift will not
occur.
D position provides 1-2, 2-3 upshifts and 3-2 and
3-1 downshifts.
Park position allows the park rod to move the park
pawl into engagement with the park gear. This pre-
vents rotation of the transmission output shaft. The
park lock mechanism is only engaged when the shift
lever is in the Park detent.
A park/neutral position switch controls engine
starting. The switch is designed to allow engine
starts only in park or neutral positions.
