Test the resistance of the wire harness. Do this be-
tween the powertrain control module (PCM) wire
harness connector terminal-2 and the sensor connec-
tor terminal. Also test terminal-4 to the sensor con-
nector terminal. Repair the wire harness as
necessary if the resistance is greater than 1 ohm.
FUEL PUMP RELAY TESTING
For testing this relay, refer to RelaysÐOperation/
Testing in this section of the group.
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR
TEST
To perform a complete test of the MAP sensor and
its circuitry, refer to DRB scan tool and appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual. To test
the sensor only, refer to the following:
Inspect the MAP sensor vacuum hose connections
at the throttle body and sensor. Repair as necessary.
CAUTION: When testing, do not remove the electri-
cal connector from MAP sensor (Fig. 36). Be sure
that the MAP sensor harness wires are not dam-
aged by the test meter probes.
Test the MAP sensor output voltage at the MAP
sensor connector between terminals A and B (as
marked on the sensor body) (Fig. 37). With the igni-
tion switch ON and the engine OFF, output voltage
should be 4-to-5 volts. The voltage should drop to 1.5-
to-2.1 volts with a neutral-hot idle speed condition.
Test the powertrain control module (PCM) (termi-
nal-5) for the same voltage described above to verify
the wire harness condition. Repair as necessary.
Test MAP sensor supply voltage at sensor connec-
tor between terminals A and C (Fig. 37) with the ig-
nition ON and engine OFF. The voltage should be
approximately 5 volts (60.5V). Five volts (60.5V)should also be at terminal-6 of the PCM wire harness
connector. Repair or replace the wire harness as nec-
essary.
Test the MAP sensor ground circuit at sensor con-
nector terminal-A (Fig. 37) and PCM connector termi-
nal-4. Repair the wire harness if necessary.
Test the MAP sensor ground circuit at the PCM
connector between terminal-4 and terminal-11 with
an ohmmeter. If the ohmmeter indicates an open cir-
cuit, inspect for a defective sensor ground connection.
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring for location of engine
grounds. If the ground connection is good, replace the
PCM. If terminal-4 has a short circuit to 12 volts,
correct this condition before replacing the PCM.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TEST

dures.

POWER STEERING PUMP
Hydraulic pressure is provided for operation of the
power steering gear by a belt driven power steering
pump. The power steering pump is a constant flow
rate and displacement, vane-type pump. The internal
parts in the housing operate submerged in fluid. The
flow control orifice is part of the high pressure line
fitting. The pressure relief valve inside the flow con-
trol valve limits the pump pressure.
Power steering pumps have different pres-
sure rates and are not interchangeable with
other pumps.
The power steering pump is connected to the steer-
ing gear via high pressure and return hose. The
pump shaft has a pressed-on drive pulley that is belt
driven by the crankshaft pulley (Fig. 3).
XJ vehicles with 2.5L engines and all YJ vehicles:
The reservoir is mounted at the front left side of the
engine compartment. XJ vehicles equipped with a
4.0L engine have the reservoir attached to the pump
body with spring clips.
STEERING COLUMNS
Two general types of steering columns are installed
on Jeep vehicles: a fixed, non-tilt column and a tilt
column (Fig. 4).
The ignition key/lock cylinder is located in the
steering column. When the key/lock cylinder is
turned to the LOCK position, the ignition switch and
steering shaft cannot be operated. For vehicles withan automatic transmission, the lock mechanism also
prevents operation of the gear shift mechanism.
The center, slip-type intermediate shaft is attached
to the steering gear and steering column shaft with
universal joints.
Both types of steering columns have anti-theft pro-
visions. They are energy-absorbing.
