Hello, I am getting an intermittent CEL on my 97 XJ sport. Did the ignition CEL flash for codes and recieved 14, 45. For some reason my year doesnt have a 45 code listed but the 98 does. For the 98 it is listed as a trans fault code. I recently replaced all 3 solenoids and changed filter and...

Thanks for the link, yeah they list it as a VSS which is strange. Do you by chance know a testing procedure for these things?

Alright, I cant seem to find a part # for the speed sensor(s) on this transmission, perhaps I am not typing the correct name?! There should be one or two on a 97? These are blue and bolt on with a one bolt with a pigtail attached. The 98 and newer have no pigtail. Does anyone have the part # or...

So I recieved my solenoids today and along with a new filter/screen they sent a cork gasket for the pan. Now, what do you think of cork gaskets? Should I try and reuse the original gasket or go for the cork? Ive always had mixed views of cork but have used them with success on engine oil...

Its crazy how the tiniest adjustment can change things.

Thanks you sir! Neglected to read that portion, readjusted and a bit smoother. :guitar:

It appears my trans solenoids will be here tomorrow so we will see how that works out. In the meantime, I adjusted my TV/Kickdown cable and now I notice I have a nice hefty clunk when shifting from P to D, I mean a real hefty clunk. It has also appeared accelerating from a stop and tapers off at...

Yeah, I am not familiar with the older style switches. It certainly would have been gold if that switch would have cured my issue. There are adjustment instructions on the instructions that come with the switch itself, which I neglected to follow. After coming out if the store I noticed my brake...

Well, I made the huge $12 investment and decided to replace the switch, I did test the old one and it unfortunately was still reading as good. I took it for a spin and it is still showing the same symptoms. Hopefully when the solenoids come next week there will be an improvement after installed...

this is great info! thanks i will test tonight and likely just buy a $12 switch anyways.

Where do I test connector at TCC, which pins? The plunger can be pulled out and it ratchets, thus extending the range of the plunger. I was under the impression this was an adjustment.?

It is possible, however I have adjusted it twice. Ill see if I can determine a test procedure for it.

I went ahead and ordered some new solenoids, I figure I might as well swap them out while I am doing a fluid/screen change. Not sure this will change much but I figure what the hell, why not?

I tested terminals 11,12 and 13 with respect to ground on 200 ohm scale, getting a reading of 14.5 for each. That was while jeep was still quite warm. This is whats so confusing because I was almost certain it had to be the lockup solenoid as well.

So today while running some errands with the wife I got a CEL. I immediately did the key trick and was given a 12, 45...and then the 55 which of course is end of codes. On a 97 I have read this 45 can be either NSS or lockup solenoid. I am considering pulling the NSS to clean it but not certain...
