The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems ca cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms

SOURCE: jeep liberty 2002 air conditioning

please elaborate, does your inside fan still works? does your compressor clutch kicks in?...would you know if you have refrigerant in your system? if you can trace the hose from the compressor to the evaporator, you can see a plastic cap normally blue with a big letter "L" at the top, then it is the low side fitting, you can remove the cap and get a pin and press the pin at the center( be carefull, refrigerant might be present). if there is none, then you have a leak. u lost all of your refrigerant that is why the ac did not work. if you do have a big burst of gas as you press it, then it is not a refrigerant problem,
a lot more to be tackle as you help me diagnose your problem.

tnx

SOURCE: 2002 Jeep Liberty headlights blink

I have the same problem. I had it when I turned on my Blinker and turned. When the switch in the steering wheel turn the blinker off it made my head lights blink sometimes. It has to do with the switch that controls the blinker and the head lights. It does not happen all the time.

My 2002 jeep liberty 4x4 bogs down and jerks when i press gas pedal

I would get it scanned to see if there is any fault code set. Also measure the fuel pressure, which should be aroun 45 PSI.

If the transmission on a 2005 Jeep Liberty goes bad will the computer also be bad? Have problem with Jeep going foward while in drive and reverse.

hi.
that sounds like a purely mechanical problem where the selector cone for forwards siezes and will not "release" the forward gears.
it should not affect the computer itself, but the added drag from a faulty gearbox, may affect power and fuel economy which the computer may register.

if the gearbox is fixed, the computer readings should return to normal, providing the computer does not have a fault of its own unrelated to the gearbox issue

I have a 2002 Liberty 4x4 and today when I tried to put it in four wheel I drove forward afterwards, but if you try to turn the car acts like it will not go at all.

That is normal for four wheel drive vehicles on hard non slip ground.The front wheels when four wheel drive is engaged will act like a brake if they are turned almost all the way to the left or right.When the two wheel drive is disengaged it will drive normally again.
