Did you ever figure out what was causing the airbag light to come on? I have the exact same issue after replacing the key cylinder lock. I had to rip out the plastic under the steering column and I wonder if I damaged the wiring. 97 XJ 419K

Thanks! I hate checking wires, but you were right. I traced the wiring into the engine bay and discovered that the end of the fuel rail had cut into a bundle of wires and was shorting out one of the speed sensor wires. It's working now.

It randomly worked two times afterwards. The last time it was all over the place.

My Speedometer stopped working after replacing the exhaust manifold. Could this be related to the electrical connectors or vacuum lines I had to disconnect while removing the manifolds? Or, is it just a coincidence? After doing some research, I replaced the vehicle speed sensor. Still not...

I think I found the problem. The driver side motor mount is shot. Sorry about the lack of information. Thanks for the replies. I focused so much on the transmission that I did not think that it had anything to do with the engine. It has an automatic transmission and I use ATF III.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to fill it out!

In the last week I've changed out the water pump, t-stat and radiator. I then drove about 4 hrs over a moutain road very slowly. It ran very hot and I'm guessing that the transmission got pretty hot also and that may be why I got this code.

This is exactly what I thought. I pulled the codes a second time and still I got 45... This is what I got 12, 24, 45, 42 and 55....

My 97 XJ 4.0 has trouble code 24 (Check TPS sensor and wiring). So I checked the TPS. B to C gave me .775 and 3.69 at WOT. A to B gave me 4.37 and 1.49 at WOT. I checked both sides because Ecomike recomended to do this in the "I'm at the end of my rope" thread. So... B to C is a good...
