1996 XJ aw4 4x4 Does anybody know of a way i could isolate the TCM from the ECU that way my tranny can shift correctly, and keep the ecu happy with no code so i can pass smog???? Maybe a resistor to feed a specific voltage to the ecu to make it think its coming from the tcm. Because my TCM or...

1996 XJ 4.0 AW4 4x4 89k miles (most elec. parts on it are for 97 model yr.) Cant pass smog due to P1694 problem code. This Jeep was screwed by some "mechanic" at some point in its life.. it wont pass smog and had all kinds of other issues. but has very low miles and is super clean. so i don't...

hope this makes it.. having trouble with images.

ok this is what i found under the plastic wire loom. Some repair. I sure hope this is whats causing P1694 code to appear. Stupid california wont pass a vehicle with a stored fault code.

Yes p1694 is the no com. Between ecm and tcm. Already did the cps due to thermal failure. Also did all the proper trouble shooting ohming out wires between tcm and ecm. My main question is re the nss. Can it cause this code to appear and what is its wiring harness supposed to look like. Thanks...

1997 4.0 aw4 4x4 Ok so the p1694 saga continues, tried another tcm after doing all the pre- trouble shooting and p1694 still comes up, and cant be cleared. Started looking at the NSS (which already been cleaned and re greased) cleaned the connectors, and plugged it back in and still got the...

Here we go again. part number 56026769 isn't even close, completely different connector all together. Much larger and many more pins than the one i took out. Strange all info I'm finding in catalogs say that's it.

OK we might be on to something. I did clean the and lube the NSS, wouldnt having it out of adjustment just cause it not to start in neutral or park? I did replace the CPS because it would cut out after heating up. But then again I might have the wrong TCM. Thanks again. This problem sucks. I...

Hello all. New to NAXJA and new to XJ's. Bought a 96 XJ 4.0 aw automatic 4 speed 4x4 with 90k miles. Was a one owner vehicle and is super clean. I got it from the junk yard for $900 so i thought it was a steal. It appears it got sent there cause it wont pass the California smog test. I tuned it...
