EXAMPLES:
²If the lamp (Figs. 5 or 6) flashes 1 time, pauses
and flashes 2 more times, a flashing Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC) number 12 is indicated. If this code is
observed, it is indicating that the battery has been
disconnected within the last 50 key-on cycles. It
could also indicate that battery voltage has been dis-
connected to the PCM. In either case, other DTC's
may have been erased.
²If the lamp flashes 1 time, pauses and flashes 7
more times, a flashing Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) number 17 is indicated.
²If the lamp flashes 3 times, pauses and flashes 5
more times, a flashing Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) number 35 is indicated.
After any stored DTC information has been ob-
served, the display will end with a flashing DTC
number 55. This will indicate the end of all stored in-
formation.
ERASING TROUBLE CODES
After the problem has been repaired, the DRB scan
tool must be used to erase a DTC. Refer to the ap-
propriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service
manual for operation of the DRB scan tool.
DRB SCAN TOOL
For operation of the DRB scan tool, refer to the ap-

PRELIMINARY CHECKS
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM OVERHEATING
Establish what driving conditions caused the com-
plaint. Abnormal loads on the cooling system such as
the following may be the cause.
1. PROLONGED IDLE, VERY HIGH AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE, SLIGHT TAIL WIND AT IDLE,
SLOW TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC JAMS, HIGH
SPEED, OR STEEP GRADES:
Driving techniques that avoid overheating are:
²Idle with A/C off when temperature gauge is at
end of normal range.
²Increasing engine speed for more air flow is recom-
mended.
2. TRAILER TOWING:
Consult Trailer Towing section of owners manual.
Do not exceed limits.
3. AIR CONDITIONING; ADD-ON OR AFTER
MARKET:
A maximum cooling package should have been or-
dered with vehicle if add-on or after market A/C is
installed. If not, maximum cooling system compo-
nents should be installed for model involved per
manufacturer's specifications.
4. RECENT SERVICE OR ACCIDENT REPAIR:
Determine if any recent service has been performed
on vehicle that may effect cooling system. This may
be:
²Engine adjustments (incorrect timing)
²Slipping engine accessory drive belt(s)
²Brakes (possibly dragging)
²Changed parts (incorrect water pump rotating in
wrong direction)
²Reconditioned radiator or cooling system refilling
(possibly under-filled or air trapped in system).
If investigation reveals none of the previous
items as a cause for an engine overheating com-
plaint, refer to following Cooling System Diag-
nosis charts.
These charts are to be used as a quick-reference
only. Refer to the group text for information.

(5) Be sure that the air conditioner (if equipped) is
turned off.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING. DO NOT STAND IN A DI-
RECT LINE WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR
HANDS NEAR THE PULLEYS, BELTS OR FAN. DO
NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.
(6) Start the engine and operate at 2400 rpm.
Within ten minutes the air temperature (indicated on
the dial thermometer) should be up to 88É C (190É F).
Fan driveengagementshould have started to occur
at between 74É to 82É C (165É to 180É F). Engage-
ment is distinguishable by a definiteincreasein fan
flow noise (roaring). The timing light also will indi-
cate an increase in the speed of the fan.
(7) When the air temperature reaches 88É C (190É
F), remove the plastic sheet. Fan drivedisengage-
mentshould have started to occur at between 57É to
79É C (135É to 175É F). A definitedecreaseof fan
flow noise (roaring) should be noticed. If not, replace
the defective viscous fan drive unit.
VISCOUS FAN DRIVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
Refer to the previous section on Cooling System
Fan for removal and installation procedures of the
viscous drive unit.
Viscous Fan Drive Fluid Pump Out Require-
ment:After installing anewviscous fan drive, bring
the engine speed up to approximately 2000 rpm and
hold for approximately two minutes. This will ensure
proper fluid distribution within the drive.
AUXILIARY ELECTRIC COOLING FANÐXJ MODELS
WITH 4.0L 6-CYLINDER ENGINE
OPERATION
XJ models equipped with a 4.0L 6-cylinder engine
may also have an auxiliary electrical cooling fan.
This is with models that have air conditioning and/or
heavy duty cooling. The fan is controlled by the cool-
ing fan relay, which is located in the power distribu-
tion center (PDC). For the location of relay within
the PDC (Fig. 41), refer to the label on PDC cover.
When coolant temperature is above 88ÉC (190ÉF),
the powertrain control module (PCM) provides a
ground path for the fan relay. This ground is pro-
vided through pin/connector #31 of the PCM 60-way
connector. Battery voltage is then applied to the fan
through the relay. When coolant temperature is be-
low 88ÉC (190ÉF), the PCM opens the ground path to
the relay. This will prevent the cooling fan from be-
ing energized.
Whenever the air conditioning is operated, the
PCM engages the auxiliary cooling fan. It provides aground path to the cooling fan relay. This ground is
provided through pin/connector #31 of the PCM 60-
way connector.
DIAGNOSIS AND RELAY TESTING
The powertrain control module (PCM) will enter a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) number 35 in memory
if it detects a problem in the auxiliary cooling fan re-
lay or circuit. This will be read as a flashing signal
at the instrument panel mounted Malfunction Indica-
tor Lamp (displayed on the instrument panel as the
CHECK ENGINE lampÐfigure 42). Refer to On-
Board Diagnostics in Group 14, Fuel Systems for in-
formation on accessing a DTC.
The DTC can also be accessed through the DRB
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diag-
Fig. 41 PDCÐXJ Models

USING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
critical input and output circuits of the charging sys-
tem, making sure they are operational. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and
output circuit monitored by the OBD system. Some
circuits are checked continuously and some are
checked only under certain conditions.
If the OBD system senses that a monitored circuit
is bad, it will put a DTC into electronic memory. The
DTC will stay in electronic memory as long as the
circuit continues to be bad. The PCM is programmed
to clear the memory after 50 engine starts, if the
problem does not occur again.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are two-digit num-
bers flashed on the malfunction indicator (Check En-
gine) lamp that identify which circuit is bad. A DTC
description can also be read using the DRB scan tool.
Refer to Group 14 - Fuel Systems for more informa-
tion.
A DTC does not identify which component in a cir-
cuit is bad. Thus, a DTC should be treated as a
symptom, not as the cause for the problem. In some
cases, because of the design of the diagnostic test
procedure, a DTC can be the reason for another DTCto be set. Therefore, it is important that the test pro-
cedures be followed in sequence, to understand what
caused a DTC to be set.
See Generator Diagnostic Trouble Code chart for
DTC's which apply to the charging system. Refer to
the Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual to di-
agnose an on-board diagnostic system trouble code.
RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
To start this function, cycle the ignition switch ON-
OFF-ON-OFF-ON within 5 seconds. This will cause
any DTC stored in the PCM memory to be displayed.
The malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp will
display a DTC by flashing on and off. There is a
short pause between flashes and a longer pause be-
tween digits. All DTC's displayed are two-digit num-
bers, with a four-second pause between codes.
An example of a DTC is as follows:
(1) Lamp on for 2 seconds, then turns off.
(2) Lamp flashes 4 times pauses and then flashes 1
time.
(3) Lamp pauses for 4 seconds, flashes 4 times,
pauses, then flashes 7 times.
The two DTC's are 41 and 47. Any number of
DTC's can be displayed, as long as they are in mem-
ory. The lamp will flash until all stored DTC's are
displayed (55 = end of test).

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.

DIAGNOSIS
COMPASS/DISPLAY SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
This self-diagnostic test is used to determine that
the compass and all of its display segments are oper-
ating properly electrically. Initiate the self-diagnostic
test as follows:
(1) With the ignition switch in the OFF position,
simultaneously press and hold the COMP/TEMP but-
ton and the US/METRIC button.
(2) Turn ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Continue to hold both buttons until the display
performs a walking segment test. In this test all of
the compass points are displayed, along with various
number combinations. These combinations verify that
all display segments are functional. If any segment
should fail to light during the test, the unit is faulty
and requires replacement. To repeat the test, momen-
tarily depress and release the COMP/TEMP button
one time.
(4) Momentarily depress and release the US/MET-
RIC button one time and all segments will light si-
multaneously for about 2 seconds. If any segment
should fail to light during the test, the unit is faulty
and requires replacement. To repeat the test, momen-
tarily depress and release the COMP/TEMP button
one time.
(5) Momentarily depress and release the US/MET-
RIC button one time or turn the ignition switch to
OFF to exit the self-diagnostic mode and return to
normal operation.
If the compass functions, but accuracy is sus-
pect, it may be necessary to perform a variation
adjustment. This procedure allows the unit to
accommodate variations in the earth's mag-
netic field strength based on geographic loca-
tion. See Compass Variation Adjustment, in this
group.
If the compass display has blanked out and
only CAL appears, demagnetizing may be nec-
essary to remove excessive residual magnetic
fields from the vehicle. See Compass Demagne-
tizing, in this group.
THERMOMETER DIAGNOSIS
The thermometer function is supported by a tem-
perature sensor, a wiring circuit and a portion of the
overhead console display. The sensor is mounted at
the center of the vehicle below the grille, behind the
front bumper (Fig. 1).
If any portion of the circuit fails, it will self-diag-
nose as an open or short circuit. The system will dis-
play SC (short circuit) when the sensor is exposed to
temperatures in excess of 55ÉC (131ÉF) or if the cir-
cuit is shorted. If the temperature is below -40ÉC
(-40ÉF) or an open circuit exists, the system will dis-
play OC (open circuit).To diagnose the temperature sensor, perform the
following procedures. If the sensor and circuit are
OK, then the electronic module is faulty and should
be replaced.
SENSOR TEST
(1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Unplug sensor
connector.
(2) Measure resistance of sensor. At -40ÉF the re-
sistance is 336K ohms. At 140ÉF the resistance is
2.488K ohms. Sensor resistance should read between
these two values. If OK, go to Sensor Circuit Test. If
not OK, replace the sensor.
SENSOR CIRCUIT TEST
(1) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Unplug sensor
connector.
(2) Short the pins on the body half of connector us-
ing a jumper wire.
(3) Remove the overhead console as described in
Service Procedures.
(4) Check continuity between cavities 10 and 11 of
overhead console harness connector (Fig. 2). There
should be continuity. If OK, go to next step. If not
OK, repair open circuit as required.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
COMPASS VARIATION ADJUSTMENT
Variance is the difference between magnetic north
and geographic north. In some areas, the difference
between magnetic and geographic north is great
enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If
this occurs, the variance must be set.
To set the variance:
(1) Using the map in Fig. 3, find your geographic
location and note the zone number.
(2) Turn ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Depress both the US/METRIC and COMP/
TEMP buttons. Hold down until VAR is displayed.
This takes about 5 seconds.
(4) Release both buttons.
(5) Press the US/METRIC button to step through
the numbers until the zone number for your area ap-
pears in the display.
(6) Press the COMP/TEMP button to enter this
zone number into compass unit memory.
(7) Confirm correct directions are indicated.
COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: DO NOT place any external magnets
such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the vicin-ity of the compass. DO NOT use magnetic tools
when servicing the overhead console.
The compass features a self-calibrating design,
which simplifies the calibration procedure. This fea-
ture automatically updates the compass calibration
while the vehicle is being driven. This takes into ac-
count small changes in residual magnetism the vehi-
cle may acquire during normal use. Do not attempt
to calibrate the compass near large metal objects
such as other vehicles, large buildings or bridges.
Whenever the compass is calibrated manually,
the variation number must also be reset. See
Variation Adjustment Procedure, in this group.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
(1) Start the engine.
(2) Depress both the US/METRIC and COMP/
TEMP buttons. Hold down until CAL is displayed.
This takes about 10 seconds and appears about 5 sec-
onds after VAR is displayed.
(3) Release both buttons.
(4) Drive vehicle on a level surface that is away
from large metal objects through 3 or more complete
circles in not less than 48 seconds. The CAL message
will disappear to indicate that the compass is now
calibrated.
If CAL message remains in display, either
there is excessive magnetism near the compass
or the unit is faulty. Repeat the demagnetizing
and calibration procedures at least one more
time.
If the wrong direction is still indicated, the
area selected may be too close to a strong mag-
netic field. Repeat the calibration procedure in
another location.
COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING
The tool used to degauss or demagnetize the for-
ward console attaching screw and roof panel is the
Miller Tool 6029. Equivalent units must be rated as
continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60Hz. They
must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at
1/4-inch beyond the tip of the probe.
The degaussing tool is used to demagnetize both
the roof panel and the console forward mounting
screw, as follows:
(1) Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before you begin the demagnetizing procedure.
(2) Plug in the degaussing tool, while keeping the
tool at least 2 feet away from the compass unit.
(3) Slowly approach the head of the forward
mounting screw with the plastic coated tip of the de-
gaussing tool. Contact the head of the screw for
about 2 seconds.Fig. 3 Variance Settings

cap. Fully seat the cables onto the towers. If neces-
sary, refer to the engine Firing Order diagrams (Figs.
8or9).
DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR
Visually inspect the rotor (Fig. 10) for cracks, evi-
dence of corrosion, or the effects of arcing on the
metal tip. Also check for evidence of mechanical in-
terference with the cap. Some charring is normal on
the end of the metal tip. The silicone-dielectric-var-
nish-compound applied to the rotor tip for radio in-
terference noise suppression, will appear charred.
This is normal.Do not remove the charred com-
pound.Test the spring for insufficient tension. Re-
place a rotor that displays any of these adverse
conditions.

For diagnostics, refer to the appropriate Powertrain
Diagnostic Procedures service manual for operation

SPARK PLUGS
For spark plug removal, cleaning, gap adjustment
and installation, refer to the Component Removal/In-
stallation section of this group.
Faulty carbon and/or gas fouled plugs generally
cause hard starting, but they will clean up at higher
engine speeds. Faulty plugs can be identified in a
number of ways: poor fuel economy, power loss, de-
crease in engine speed, hard starting and, in general,
poor engine performance.
Remove the spark plugs and examine them for
burned electrodes and fouled, cracked or broken por-
celain insulators. For identification, keep plugs ar-
ranged in the order in which they were removed from
the engine. An isolated plug displaying an abnormal
condition indicates that a problem exists in the cor-
responding cylinder. Replace spark plugs at the inter-
vals recommended in the maintenance chart in
Group 0, Lubrication and Maintenance.
Spark plugs that have low mileage may be cleaned
and reused if not otherwise defective. Refer to the
following Spark Plug Condition section of this group.
CONDITION
NORMAL OPERATING
The few deposits present on the spark plug will
probably be light tan or slightly gray in color. This is
evident with most grades of commercial gasoline
(Fig. 19). There will not be evidence of electrode
burning. Gap growth will not average more than ap-
proximately 0.025 mm (.001 in) per 1600 km (1000
miles) of operation. Spark plugs that have normal
wear can usually be cleaned, have the electrodes
filed, have the gap set and then be installed.Some fuel refiners in several areas of the United
States have introduced a manganese additive (MMT)
for unleaded fuel. During combustion, fuel with MMT
causes the entire tip of the spark plug to be coated
with a rust colored deposit. This rust color can be
misdiagnosed as being caused by coolant in the com-
bustion chamber. Spark plug performance is not af-
fected by MMT deposits.
COLD FOULING/CARBON FOULING
Cold fouling is sometimes referred to as carbon
fouling. The deposits that cause cold fouling are ba-
sically carbon (Fig. 19). A dry, black deposit on one or
two plugs in a set may be caused by sticking valves
or defective spark plug cables. Cold (carbon) fouling
of the entire set of spark plugs may be caused by a
clogged air cleaner element or repeated short operat-
ing times (short trips).
WET FOULING OR GAS FOULING
A spark plug coated with excessive wet fuel or oil is
wet fouled. In older engines, worn piston rings, leak-
ing valve guide seals or excessive cylinder wear can
cause wet fouling. In new or recently overhauled en-
gines, wet fouling may occur before break-in (normal
oil control) is achieved. This condition can usually be
resolved by cleaning and reinstalling the fouled
plugs.
OIL OR ASH ENCRUSTED
If one or more spark plugs are oil or oil ash en-
crusted (Fig. 20), evaluate engine condition for the
cause of oil entry into that particular combustion
chamber.
ELECTRODE GAP BRIDGING
Electrode gap bridging may be traced to loose de-
posits in the combustion chamber. These deposits ac-
cumulate on the spark plugs during continuous stop-
and-go driving. When the engine is suddenly
