AW-4 differences

ren · Sep 5, 2005

Anybody know the wiring differeneces between the Renix era AW-4 and the '97 and newer AW-4? I can get a complete '98 XJ that took a BADDDD hit to the pass. side for dirt cheap. I am wanting to know what kind of wiring mods I may have to make to get the tranny to work with the RENIX stuff. I am going to use the complete drivetrain since it has about 45,000 miles on it. I plan on keeping the RENIX injection to simplify wiring of the motor ( change out engine sensors for RENIX, and mod the TPS to work,also). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to keep everything as factory style as possible for reliability issues, but I may end up using one of BrettM's switches for the tranny as a last resort.(Nothing against Brett, just trying to keep the wife happy, since this is HER XJ.) Thanks Ren

There would be a very good chance with a side collision there are cracks in the driveline.

i think the main issue with 96+ aw4s is that they have one extra speed sensor on them, while the older oones only have one.

I have been told that an AW4 form a '98 won't work in my '96. Is there a website where I can find that information?

I've heard of people doing it with just splicing a few wires, I've also heard from a guy who had to swap the speed sensor to the one matching the TCM. Basically, I don't know for sure.
