I picked up a '98 Cherokee awhile back for pennies (of course) as it's a salvage title. The vehicle had been in a front end dinger popping both airbags. The previous owner replaced all the sheet metal (now it has a '93 front end) but it will not start. I have the ATX and 4.0L HO engine, 4x4. Vehicle was loaded from the factory.
So far I have replaced both airbags (one pending, but on it's way) and the airbag ECU under the center console. I reviewed this thread completely, and replaced my CPS with no change. I have the following symptoms:
I have a matching part number new PCM on the way from eBay, but dunno if that will help if the "condition" still remains when replaced. I've tried resetting the PCM, but no change.
Any help please? I promise free Alaska glacier air conditioning to anyone who helps solve this issue.
So far I have replaced both airbags (one pending, but on it's way) and the airbag ECU under the center console. I reviewed this thread completely, and replaced my CPS with no change. I have the following symptoms:
- No fuel pressure, fuel pump does not run with key "ON"
- No spark from coil
- Left side of dash is DOA (voltage gauge doesn't move when you key "ON", left turn signal no workee, .... right side seems to work okay)
- Code P1496 (no CCD bus signal?)
- Fuel gauge doesn't rise, but vehicle HAS over 1/2 tank of fuel but it's also on LHS of cluster.
- Tested fuel pump with battery, good.
- Replaced coil, still no spark
- Checked plugs, etc but w/no fuel or spark that's moot....
- new battery
- Checked all relays. Two ignition relays show HOT when key "ON" and fuel pump relay is good (swapped in a spare w/no change)
- All fuses checked.
