Got my Mean Lemons battery cables installed and also got the new condenser, lines, and hose in for the A/C. I’ll vacuum and recharge once it warms up around Friday.
The control module for the airbag is known as an ACM on the Cherokee while called an AECM on other Jeep and Chrysler products. No light on so this is a potential false code. Some data PIDs for Engine. More than the typical aftermarket code reader in live data mode. Possible supported tests. On Board Readiness. You’ll see that since I had the battery disconnected and the Jeep hasn’t moved lately that not all of the tests have completed. What the ECT sensor is reading while the gauge is at 210.
Took a break from the upgrades to play with my new scan tool. I got AutoEnginuity for another vehicle but got a deal on enhanced Chrysler so I bit as I know a few people with newer Jeeps.
Not much a scan tool reads on our Cherokees but the ability to see what the sensors read really helps with diagnosing issues.
Did an oil change. No shavings, coolant, or abnormal level. New LED headlights are in. Nice brightness to them. Going to aim them tomorrow night. Header panel reinstalled.
Removed the sway bar, replaced the front shocks with the Billsteins, began removing the brakes for the new pads, rotors, calipers, and hoses. Laid down a couple coats of undercoating while under there.
Lately has been more of PITA maintenance as the Jeep evolved into a ****box.
- Finally got the fan issue corrected. Put a new fan in that didn't require an adapter harness and it ran perfect.
- The cargo floor is rusted out into giant holes.
- Currently working on getting the rear shocks done. It hasn't been fun/
- Had to disconnect the airbag harness below the column as turning the steering wheel caused the Jeep to almost stall. (Shorted Clockspring)
- Bed-lined the entire thing as the clear coat disintegrated.
- MOLLE Cubby in the right rear void area.
- Additional 31'' for spare.
- THOR Cowl Intake
- IAT Relocation to near the cowl.
- 3.73s with lockers.
- Winch and bumpers
- Exhaust
Began the seat swap from and 02 and a 04 WJ to tan leather. The seats aren’t exactly the same but close enough as most of the seats at the junkyard were destroyed.
WJ seat with some stains. WJ seat bottom XJ seat bottom.
