Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM


CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION section before disconnecting battery.


Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS


NOTE: Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may also be referred to as CHECK ENGINE light.

The self-diagnostic capabilities of this system, if properly utilized, can simplify testing. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors several different engine control system circuits.

If a problem is sensed with a monitored circuit, PCM memory stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC), the MIL glows and PCM enters limp-in mode. In limp-in mode, PCM compensates for component failure by substituting information from other sources. This allows vehicle operation until repairs can be made.

Test circuits and repair or replace components as required. If problem is repaired or ceases to exist, the PCM cancels DTC after 50 ignition on/off cycles.

A specific DTC results from a particular system failure. A DTC does not condemn a specific component; component is not necessarily the reason for failure. DTCs only call out a probable malfunction area.


Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - Hard Failures


Hard failures cause MIL to glow and remain on until the malfunction is repaired. If light comes on and remains on (light may flash) during vehicle operation, cause of malfunction must be determined using self-diagnostic tests. If a sensor fails, PCM will use a substitute value in its calculations, allowing engine to operate in limp-in mode. In this condition, vehicle will run, but driveability may be poor.


Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - Intermittent Failures


Intermittent failures may cause MIL to flicker or stay on until the intermittent failure goes away. However, the corresponding DTC will be retained in PCM memory. If related failure does not reoccur within a certain time frame, related DTC will be erased from PCM memory. Intermittent failures can be caused by a faulty sensor, bad connector or wiring related problems.


Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - SERVICE PRECAUTIONS


Before proceeding with diagnosis, the following precautions must be followed:

  • ALWAYS relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components. See FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE.
  • When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION section before disconnecting battery.
  • Vehicle must have a fully charged battery and functional charging system.
  • Probe PCM 60-pin connector from pin side. DO NOT backprobe PCM connector.
  • DO NOT cause short circuits when performing electrical tests. This will set additional DTCs, making diagnosis of original problem more difficult.
  • DO NOT use a test light instead of a voltmeter.
  • When checking for spark, ensure coil wire is NO more than 1/4" from ground. If coil wire is more than 1/4" from ground, damage to vehicle electronics and/or PCM may result.
  • DO NOT prolong testing of fuel injectors or engine may hydrostatically (liquid) lock.
  • Always repair lowest DTC number (MIL) or first fault displayed (DRB) first.
  • Always perform verification test after repairs are made.
  • Always disconnect DRB after use.
  • Always disconnect DRB before charging battery.

Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE


WARNING: Always relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components.

CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION section before disconnecting battery.

  1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Slowly open fuel tank cap to release fuel tank pressure. Remove protective cap from pressure test port on fuel rail. See Fig. 1 .
  2. Using Fuel Pressure Gauge Tool Set (5069), obtain fuel pressure gauge and hose assembly. Remove gauge from hose. Place gauge end of hose in approved gasoline container. Place shop towel under test port. Screw other end of hose onto fuel pressure test port. Release fuel pressure. After pressure is released, remove hose from test port. Install protective cap on pressure test port.
  3. If gauge tool set is not available, perform step 1). Using a small screwdriver, wrapped in shop towels, push test port valve in to relieve fuel pressure. Absorb spilled fuel with shop towels. Remove shop towels and dispose of properly. Install protective cap on pressure test port.

Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - VISUAL INSPECTION


Most driveability problems in the engine control system result from faulty wiring, poor electrical connections or leaking air and vacuum hose connections. To avoid unnecessary component testing, perform a visual inspection before beginning self-diagnostic tests.


Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE


NOTE: DO NOT skip any steps in self-diagnostic tests or incorrect diagnosis may result.

Always perform a visual inspection before attempting to diagnose engine control system problems. See VISUAL INSPECTION. Enter on-board diagnostics, and retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). See ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS. If DTCs are not present and/or DRB (Diagnostic Readout Box) is used, proceed to one of the following tests:

  • Go to TEST NS-1A (QUALIFYING NO START CONDITION) if a no-start condition exists or engine stalls after start-up. Perform indicated VERIFICATION TEST after repairs have been made.
  • Go to TEST TC-1A (CHECKING DTCs) if engine runs but has performance problems. Perform indicated VERIFICATION TEST after repairs have been made.
  • Go to TEST NTC-1A (NO DTC TEST CODE MENU) if a driveability problem exits and no DTCs are present. Perform indicated VERIFICATION TEST after repairs have been made.

Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS


NOTE: Although other scan testers are available, manufacturer recommends using (Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) to diagnose the system. MIL function can be used but has limited diagnostic capability.


Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - DRB Diagnostic Mode


  1. Ensure ignition is off. Attach DRB to data link connector. Connector is located on left side of engine compartment, near PCM. See Fig. 2 . Start engine (if possible). Turn A/C system on, then off (if equipped).
  2. Turn engine off. Without starting engine, turn ignition on and access READ TROUBLE CODES function of DRB FUEL/IGN MENU.
  3. Record all fault messages displayed by DRB, and observe MIL on instrument cluster. MIL should come on for 3 seconds and then go out (bulb check).

Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - MIL Diagnostic Mode


  1. Start engine (if possible). Move transmission shift lever through all positions, ending in Park. Turn A/C switch on and then off (if equipped).
  2. Turn engine off. Without starting engine again, turn ignition on, off, on, off and on within 3 seconds. Record 2-digit DTCs as displayed by flashing MIL.
  3. For example, DTC 23 is displayed as flash, flash, 4-second pause, flash, flash, flash. After a slightly longer pause, other codes stored are displayed in numerical order. When MIL begins to flash DTCs, it cannot be stopped. Start over if count is lost. Code 55 indicates end of fault code display.
  4. - DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES/MESSAGES to translate trouble code number to a DRB fault message. Once trouble area is identified, refer to TEST TC-1A in this article. Use DRB fault messages to find appropriate test.
  5. As an example, a 2.5L engine starts and runs but has a driveability problem. MIL indicates DTC 14. - DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES/MESSAGES to translate trouble code number to DRB fault message. When DRB fault message is obtained, refer to appropriate test number in this article. To clear DTCs, see CLEARING FAULTS.

  3. Fault codes may be cleared by disconnecting negative battery cable for at least 15 seconds, allowing PCM to clear DTCs.

Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - INACTIVE DTC CONDITION


This procedure applies if you have been sent here from diagnostic tests and have just attempted to simulate the condition that initially set the fault message. The following additional checks may assist in identifying a possible intermittent problem:

  • Visually inspect related wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
  • Visually inspect related wiring harnesses for chafed, pierced or partially broken wires.
  • Check all pertinent Tech Service Bulletins (TSBs).

Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - USING DRB


NOTE: Although other scan testers are available, manufacturer recommends using Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB) to diagnose the system. DRB receives information through the Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC may also be referred to as the engine diagnostic connector.

Ensure DRB is connected to data link connector located in engine compartment. Ensure correct cartridge is installed in DRB for vehicle and system being diagnosed. Menu selections will vary depending on vehicle and system being diagnosed. Follow DRB screen prompts to actuate, adjust, monitor, reset, test and diagnose system as necessary.

DRB is grounded through the DLC. Only one volt-ohmmeter test lead is required when using volt-ohmmeter option. DRB volt-ohmmeter should only be used when self-diagnostic tests require the use of this option.

If DRB has a blank screen or displays RAM TEST FAILURE, CARTRIDGE ERROR, KEY PAD TEST FAILURE or LOW BATTERY OR HIGH BATTERY, this indicates a DRB failure. To diagnose and correct these conditions, see VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS in appropriate TESTS W/CODES - BODY CONTROL COMPUTER article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.


Jeep Wrangler Renegade 1994 - THEFT ALARM SYSTEM


NOTE: If SECURITY light comes on and remains on with ignition on, Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) bus communication with PCM has been lost. After servicing vehicle, ensure system operates properly. A malfunctioning anti-theft alarm system may keep engine from starting. For anti-theft alarm diagnosis, see ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT section.
