Help-Anti Theft Data Transfer loop Device fault
 

has anyone experienced their Jeep dying on them while travelling, no warning just stops!!! wouldnt start, and with a full tank of fuel. transported to the garage and the mechanic identified on the computer ' Anti Theft Data Transfer loop Device fault' reset this and the jeep started. Has anyone experienced this before, if so what did you do to resolve this ever happening again....crossing a road going round a roundabout...if this happened again could be disasterous....can anyone help???
cgat:sad:

this is a grand cherokee....just out the garage after getting new battery and fuel lines changed to the injectors.....went for 2.5 miles then stops!! reason above???

I had one come into the shop a few months ago with the same symptom's. the owner bought the ZJ second hand and didn't have the key fob to disarm the alarm. the factory alarm system has ground wires on both front door lock cylinders and on the rear hatch. I chased the drivers door wire put a tap on it and grounded it to body. that disabled the alarm system so the truck would stay running.

just wondering , did you do a write up on that a while back.. ????

thanks for the information. The garage reset the fault through their computer but replaced or repaired nothing and the Jeep is now working. I have the handbook in the car which I will pick up today, I would have thought that this device will be described in there and how to disable it. :icon_confused:

no I don't remember doing one. if anyone needs the wiring diagram I can post it though.
