2000 Jeep Cherokee - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Do you have a trac bar? If not, make sure you don't have a bent tie rod, if that's bit he case, Did look at your drag link and/or steering stabalizer next. If you do have a trac bar, I'd say it's most likely bump steer. Either take off your trac bar(which could actually be masking more problems than you're aware of) or adjust what need be to insure that your drag loo I and trac bar arE at the same angle. Bump steer is often caused because the drag link is either being pushed or pulled by the vertical suspension movement due to not being parallel with the trac bar. I hope I was of help to ya!

Bad flasher

Low beams ARE your headlights. If they don't work--replace them both. Simple as that. Remember if one burns out, the other is soon to follow.

ECM is probably OK. On this year its one of 3 things. First its the ignition coil causing the problem. This is the most likely cause. Second would be the fuel pump is going bad and partially locked up. The third reason is the crank sensor is going bad. Jeep ECMs don't usually act like this, they just stop working and don't act up intermittently. Not saying it couldn't be faulty, just unlikely.

Check connection at the bulb ,, oxidation or corrosion on or in the connector where the bulb connects,, clean all contacts and try it again,, even replacing the bulb does not work if you dont clean the connection properly,,

Use the door lock if it's the same

The dealer can do that for you.

Hi Paula, You didn't mention if you changed the plug wires. You mentioned replacing the camshaft sensor. Have you checked the Crankshaft Position Sensor? Or the Mass Air Flow Sensor (may need cleaning)? Or the Throttle Position Sensor?

the vacuum supply source is not there check for vacuum under hood to dash. on passenger side by firewall.

Interesting, these are on the same circuit. 1) Click the hazards on and off a few times to exercise the switch. 2) Replace the flasher timer relay. 3) I believe that this system has a little computer center, about the size of a machbox and it is located under the dash. Swap this out with one from a junkyard.

Need four basics to start the engine; timing, spark, fuel and air. Is the engine cranking? If so, have someone to spray 'starter fluid' into the immediate air induction port. If it doesn't fire and run for a few seconds, check the distributor source. If it does fire and run for a second or two, you may have a fuel pump down.

Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0700 is an informational code that is stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM) That informs the diagnostic technician that there are codes present in the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and that the TCM has requested the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (AKA - Check Engine Light) to be turned on. This is because the MIL is controlled by the ECM and cannot be turned on directly by the TCM. So, the TCM requests the ECM to turn the light on. To find out the nature of the failure that caused the P0700, one must scan the TCM to retrieve the fault codes stored there. Please note that MOST generic OBD code readers cannot access the TCM - this is the reason for the P0700 code to set in the ECM (to alert somebody with a generic code reader that further diagnosis is needed for the TCM).

4g63?

I need to know exactly what they intend to do on the engine, you are just to vague.

posted here 100 time. http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service WJ. all cars have spare conn,. and fuses. for options not opted. they do not make a harness for all 100 permutations of options that would be crazy. no its not SAFE pull the neg, lug on battery before any PDC work. or take the risk of eating acid or far worse. "BOOM" if you work on a car, the FSM is the bet book. its all there, just read it.

why not scan it the CEL glow to say, please scan me, i have errors. in 2000 year cars, the PCM reports all TCM errors. they are unified. so scan it, what is the delay there, ???? do , get it, or at the least autozoned scans (kiddy scan) get the real DTCs dont let the kid blabber, "that bla bla is bad" if he knew what was bad, he'd not be a clerk.

operators guide. lost, ask jeep for this guide, get one.... here is the full fsm. DL this and burn to CD or mem.stick. bingo, ready to rumble any time any place. http://www.xjjeeps.com/pdf/2000_service_manual.pdf

which engine, its an A/T tranny right? my jeep is a stick, both.. fails hot and cold engine, (bingo huh?) never go backwards again. pretend its an old harely... lol are all other things perfect? drives perfect, lights work. all? check fuses first. clean ISC, valve. clean EGR valve. give it a tune up, if yo skip those.... do you, every 60k?miles?

Julie, Its easier to add an analog gauge and wiring than to chase around for the factory built-in. It will be more reliable and you will be more relaxed in which direction to seek a resolution on the issue, maybe the battery, alternator, Primary Comp Module voltage regulator, is going weak. Viewing the U-tubes will give better understanding.

double posted, back up one.
