Like the title says, I've got an overvoltage condition.
Hard wheeling this past weekend, sunk in water (but engine kept running).
Jump started another Jeep a couple of times.
Smoked my electric winch.
In that order.
My XJ ran fine until the winch smoked.
Codes says 46, overvoltage.
Meter goes ALL the way up unless I have everything running, lights, AC, fan, radio, etc.
At idle, the voltage drops below normal.
I checked for short and open circuits with an ohmeter at the alternator and did not find any.
I will swap the alternator this weekend (I have a spare).
I also got the code 27 and limp mode driving home at 15 mph.
I reset the ECM which cleared the 27 code and the battery disconnected code 12 ( which I caused when swapping out the leaking battery).
So I do not think the ECM is broke.
What do you folks think?
