It could be the IAC module that sits next to the throttle body. It controls your idle and is non-adjustable.Try cleaning toyr throttle body system first, if tht doesn't work it will need to be replaced. Good luck, Mike
Is there overdrive on the Jeep Cherokee automatic transmission?
There was several transmissions offered. It depends on what motor and trans you have. the 2.8 v6 and 2.5 i 4 came with a 3 speed torqueflight. in the mid 90s the switched to a 30rh 3 speed for the i4 (2.5) None of these had overdrive. there was an option for an AW4 transmission made by aisin, that had an overdrive. This was available about 86 or 87 till the discontinuation of the Cherokee in 2001.
Where is the tps sensor located on a 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4.0?
On the throttle body, right next to where the cable connects. It is the device on the right side with one or two wire connectors exiting at a right angle. The device on the left controls idle air.

How do you fix a P1698 on a Jeep Cherokee 1997?
My reference books don't show a P1698 error code but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. I would recommend taking it to a large autoparts store and asking them to read the code for you. They should be willing to do this for no charge in hopes that they can sell you the corrective part from their store. If they can then please do so that this valuable service will continue to be available to the rest of us who are too cheap to buy our own error reader computer.
Why would the fan run after a 1997 Honda accord is turned off?
Hello, Jamison here, It can run (and even start without the key on),, But if it runs continually, There is A problem,, Check the relay, or the temp. sender.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Good luck, Jamison. Not necessarily a problem, if it's the auxilary cooling fan. They can fun a few minutes if it's a hot day (and you've stopped, and there's then no longer any air zipping through to cool the radiator). If it always runs, though, you have a cooling problem. Check coolant level first, then--radiator, hoses, thermostat, etc. Keep an eye on your temp gauge when you drive. If you abuse it, you'll blow a head gasket and a $75 fix is waaay bigger now.
How do you reset 1995 Jeep Cherokee security system switch?
Depends. That system is a real bear. IF you have a battery that is 'suspect' in any way, you need to replace it with a quality battery. the security module will dump into 'security' status when the voltage drops during crank over. A healthy battery is really important on this system. Also, check the door entry key switches AND the tailgate switch which is a magnetic proximity switch as opposed to the front door microswitches that hang on the entry key cylinder tails. Next, check or just disconnect the hood security plunger switch near the battery. The possibility exists that the overhead console is contributing to your problem as it is wired to the security module. I have a 92 Cherokee and have been holding my breath for 5 years that it continues to run. I had an infrared security key built by a firm I found online. The jeep came without one. as the front door lock switches had failed and I got tired of unlocking the system at the tailgate, I wanted a normal way to unlock the doors and disarm the security system. Good luck on your problem.
Where is the radio ground wire in a 1996 Jeep Cherokee?
Perhaps this color code chart can help:--- 12V battery wire = pink or pink w/white stripe--- 12V ignition wire = red w/white stripe--- Illumination = orange--- Power antenna = white--- Dimmer = none--- SPEAKERS--- Front left(+) = dark green--- Front left(-) = brown w/red stripe--- Front right(+) = purple--- Front right(-) = blue w/red stripe--- Rear right(+) = blue w/orange stripe--- Rear right(-) = blue w/white stripe--- Rear left(+) = brown w/blue stripe--- Rear left(-) = brown w/yellow stripe---
Where is the 1990 Jeep Cherokee reverse light switch?
It's a switch, not a relay. And it's on the tranny. The reverse light relay is on the transmission, you have wiring from the transmission to a socket style clip, that wiring section is the relay for the reverse light.
What is fuse layout for a 1996 Cherokee jeep?
In the fuse box under the hood. I have a 93 and it is a 25 amp fuse in spot 11. Horn relay is just behind the drivers side dash, same side as the ignition key, no covers. It uses the same Part # relay as several other relays in the box under the hood, for testing purposes.
Where do you put the antifreeze in a Jeep Cherokee?
Open the hood, and is the container closest to the front of your vehicle, so when you open the hood you should see a container called a radiator it is long and about 2 inches thick, has big hoses hooked up to it coming from your engine, take the cap off ( it should say engine coolant) the cap is usually silver, push it down and turn counterclockwise. Put coolant until you reached close to the top.
here is a link , see the yellow cap? that's where it goes

How do you remove ignition lock from 91 Jeep Cherokee?
Assuming that you do not ( as suggested by the first answer) want the information in order to steal a car (which would take a while with the following procedure) it is
possible to change the ignition key lock on a 92 Honda Accord Automatic, although even the Honda service manual indicates that you must change the entire ignition switch (the entire apparatus that goes around the steering column and is held in place by two sheer bolts that have to be drilled out and require that you remove the steering wheel, the shields behind it and the instrument panel). Since I have changed the lock myself, without doing any of that, I know that it can be done. Also, the entire switch costs a fortune, whereas the lock and keys can usually be had on eBay for around $30.00.
First, take both cables off the battery. Before you do, make sure that your radio isn't one of those anti-theft jobs that needs a code when you hook the battery back up. If you don't have the code, no more radio.
Next, remove the shields behind the steering wheel. There are seven screws in the bottom shield, four threaded and three pointed. Remember where they go. After you have removed them, ease the portion of the bottom shield out from around the key lock, then it will be loose. If you have a tilt-wheel model, you will have to push the lever down (while holding the steering wheel where you want it) and then the shield can be pivoted so that it will come off the lever. Then push the lever back up.
The top shield will pull out from the top position with only minimal easing upward and outward.
After the shields are removed, you will see that the lock is behind the wiper apparatus and that the set screw (Philips head) can not be accessed in the normal manner. Don't give up yet. First, remove the illumination bulb from the plastic shield around the lock itself. Turn the bulb holder about ¼ turn and it should then come out of the housing. Then, remove the plastic shields themselves. There are three of them and they will all come off after you figure out how various plastic parts clip minimally onto the lock. It just takes a bit of working back and forth. When you have the shields off, you are ready to remove the lock itself.
At this point, insert the key into the lock and turn the lock to I. Leave it there.
Two maneuvers that would be very easy if the steering wheel were removed are more difficult this way, but they can be done with slow care and effort. First, the set screw has to be loosened, NOT removed. Using a good pair of needle-nose pliers, you can carefully turn the screw out until the lock will clear it (you can see the inner point of the screw where it blocks the locks removal, so you should be able to see when it no longer will cause such a block). Next, you must push in the pin that is part of the lock itself and comes up in a hole in the casing just a short distance back from the set-screw (you may need a flashlight to see the hole). Now, since you don't have the steering wheel removed, you can't simply push a small Philip's head screwdriver into the hole to compress the pin. You will have to use something like an Allen wrench (with the 45% angle) of the proper size to fit into the hole and carefully fit the end into the hole while holding the longer end. Even then, you probably won't be able to get enough pressure on the Allen wrench to push in the pin unless you carefully insert a flat-bladed screwdriver behind the wrench and lever it into the hole. I know, sounds like you need three hands, but if you are careful, and give yourself plenty of time, it will work.
Once you have the pin compressed, with your fourth hand you can work the lock out of the casing. Okay, sometimes the pin will pop back up and you will have to compress it again, but if you work the lock out as much as possible (just a hair) before compressing the pin, it will tend to catch the pin under the casing so that you can continue with removal.
When you have the lock out, you will find that it still has one wire connected to it by what appears to be a piece of plastic with the screw through it. Remove the screw, then, CAREFULLY pry up the end that the screw goes through and remove the plastic part by moving it slightly in the direction of the screw hole and lifting it up (there is a tiny tab at the other end of the part that fits into the lock, so you will have to put that end in first when you connect the part to the new lock). Okay, get your new lock, making sure that it is the same as your old lock and attach the plastic part and screw in reverse of how you took them off.
Now, with the new lock with key inserted and turned to I, carefully slide it back in in the same position as the old one was when you removed it. It should, perhaps with only a slight amount of pressure, click into place (the pin comes up in the hole). When that is accomplished, you should try the key to see that it turns through it positions easily.
If it does, carefully (using the needle-nose pliers) tighten the set-screw that holds the lock in position. Then replace the three plastic lock shields and put the illumination bulb back in simply by reversing the turn by which you took it out.
At this point, you should hook your battery back up and see it everything works as it should before you go through the trouble of reinstalling the top and bottom shields. Start the car.
If it starts, give it a short test drive to make sure it runs and shifts properly then turn it off, replace the shields and congratulate yourself on having done that which they all said couldn't be done.
Good luck.
How do you locate the starter on 2001 Jeep Cherokee?
your starter is on the passenger side engine compartment. open your hood. stand at your right front tire. look in between your fenderwall and engine, slightly left and straight down from your battery it's at the bottom right of your engine. hope this helps.
How hard is it to change a water pump on a 1999 Jeep Cherokee?
not incredably hard but you need to know what you are doing. lossen the fan shrouad, take the fan out and the fan shrouad ,take the belt of, drain the radiator unless you want fluid every where, take out the bolts after the hose is off. carefully take the water pump off. scrape the old gasket off of the motor and then start reversing the process. put the new gasket on and then the pump ,then the hose, then the belt ,then the fan and the fan shrouad, fill it up with coolant and watch for leaks. o and don't forget to use some kind of water proof silicone on the new water pump seal. good luck.
And don't forget to go to Autozone to get a water pump nut puller, you will need it to get the fan off of the pump and back on the new one. You can then return the puller back to Autozone to get a full refund.
How do you remove the front door driver side panel from a 4-door 1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic?
Go to this website. It shows how to take off the door panel. http://www.kwmuth.com/techsupport/pdfs/21000110.pdf
Find a thin yet hard tool of some sort, I used a putty knife to remove both of my door panels. Wrap your tool in masking or duct tape so you don't scratch paint. Starting at the bottom, work the knife in between the panel and the metal of the door. You'll find a small plastic button clips hold the bottom in place. Carefully pry the bottom lose, if you break the clips, they sell them at Auto Zone, but IT'S A HUGE HASSLE finding the right ones. Next take out all the Phillips head screws you find. Should be three of them if i recall. two large ones in the handle/armrest and one behind the door handle itself. Also don't miss the one up near the top-front if you don't have the factory Infinity tweeters. Once those are taken out continue w/ your putty knife carefully prying the panel off until all you have left connecting the door to the panel is the wiring and door latch bars. Those are removed by taking off the small ring clips on the door panel end of the bars. And the wiring if you have it is a simple wiring harness plug. There you have it, a naked Jeep door. I highly suggest putting Dynamat or some other sound deadening material between the panel and door before you replace it, makes a world of difference in the amount of road/tire noise.
How do you loosen the belt on 92 Jeep Cherokee?
Use a prybar to release the belt tensioner. This will allow you to slip it off. To install, you may need to remove a bolt from the alternator.
That is one way to do it but not on my 1992 Cherokee Limited 4.0 HO. The power steering pump was actually the the tensioner pulley. You have to loosen the base then loosen the adjusting bolt under the pump. Prybar and removing bolt from alternator would not work.
In a 94 GCL I used a 10mm(?) socket on the tensioner pully and pulled right. Slack was immediate. No need for removing anything except the belt.
How do you check a crankshaft sensor on a 1994 Jeep Cherokee?
I have found the best way to change this sensor on the 318cid model is from the top. I removed the transmission crossmember and jacked the transmission all the way up to gain more space behind the engine. You will find the sensor on the right side, follow the 3 wire harness and unplug it. Then using a couple of extentions and swivels you can reach behind to feel the bolts and guide the socket on to the bolts. I could not see the bolts at all it was done by feel. Remove the bolts and sensor, then reverse this procedure.
Does Jeep use an inertia switch?
It doesn't have an inertia switch. The fuel pump is controlled by a relay.
Fuel Pump Replaced and runs 20-30 miles and again cuts off!
Where is the radiator drain plug located at on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport?
You can see it through the grill or behind the passenger side headlamp surround. Jeep Cherokee radiator drain plugs are plastic and very fragile. You should simply remove the lower radiator hose instead of using the drain plug.
AnswerRemove front headlight trim and grill, passenger side, lower side of radiator, is a hollow hex drain plug Answeryes the drain is on the lower left but its easier to remove the air cleaner box and pull off the lower hose going to the radiator to drain it.What does is mean check gauges light on in a 2001 Jeep Cherokee?
The check gauges warning is an additional warning to the driver that something is not right. If you see this warning, be sure to survey all the indicators on your instrument panel...especially oil pressure and engine temperature. If you see anything you're not sure of, err on the side of safety and pull off the road, shut down the engine and seek help.
What is the average lifespan of a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?
if taken care of and driven nicely 300,000 easy
addition# If it has the 4.0 liter straight 6 engine, life expectancy can exceed that of the factory standards by quite a bit. Can have transmission problems if wheel diameter is increased beyond 29 inches without strengthening of the transmission and transfer case (depending on which Dana axles came stock and which transmission you have stock). Proper maintenance and care is always a factor. But just remember Jeeps don't break, they give you opportunities to upgrade them
Will a blown head gasket cause your jeep Cherokee to over heat?
Yes.
If the head gasket is blown between the water jacket passages and the cylinder it self you are pushing exhaust gases into the water when under load and also possibly leaking a little water back into the cylinder when after you have run it and then shut it off.
