I agree, the AW4 has its own Trans Control Computer, so your making perfect sense, for the AW4. Which is the overwhelming majority of Auto Trans for Jeeps.Kejtar said:True
Nope, the ECM doesn't controll the aw4, the TCM does, but the ECM expects some sort of signaling from teh TCM that's why the need for a specific ECM when TCM is is present.
You're not making sense here, read the above.
BUT, and I'm showing my bias here because I'm considering a swap from the AX-5 to a 30RH/A904 (I've got the 2.5L, '95 XJ), the 30RH is a purely hydrualic trans, except for the Torque Converter Lock-Up, which is controlled by the Engine Computer, ECM. It does not have its own computer just for the Torque Converter Lock-Up, so the ECM does this single additional function. I believe that is true for the 30RH, correct me if I'm wrong.
You make a very important point, because what I said is wrong for 95% of the Jeeps out there, its only the few that use a 30RH/A904 that I would have been correct. Thanks, cause even if I was right for the 30RH, I'd still be steering the overwhelming majority wrong on that point.
