NOTE: Idle mixture adjustment is not part of a normal tune-up. DO
NOT adjust mixture unless carburetor has been disassembled
Page 1302 of 1378
or vehicle fails emissions testing.
IDLE MIXTURE (TACHOMETER (LEAN DROP) PROCEDURE)
NOTE: On 4.2L engines, ensure idle speed and timing are set prior
to adjusting the idle mixture. If mixture adjustment time
exceeds 3 minutes, run engine at 2000 RPM in Neutral for one
minute, and resume adjustment. On 4.0L engines, idle mixture
adjustment is not possible.
4.2L
1) Remove carburetor and locate roll pins blocking idle
mixture screws. Drill through throttle body on closed end of roll pin
hole. Drive pins out with punch. Reinstall carburetor. Install
tachometer.
2) Operate engine to normal operating temperature, and adjust
curb idle speed. Place automatic transmission selector in Drive
(Neutral for manual transmissions). Turn mixture screws inward until
RPM drops. Turn screws outward until highest RPM is reached.
3) Turn mixture screws inward to obtain the correct decrease
in RPM. See LEAN DROP (RPM) table. Adjust both screws equally. When
mixture is correctly adjusted, replace roll pin to block adjustment
screws.
NOTE: If final RPM differs more than 30 RPM from specified curb
idle speed, reset curb idle, and repeat mixture adjustment.

voltage. Input voltage should be approximately 5 volts. Disconnect
voltmeter positive lead and connect to terminal "B" to measure output
voltage.
4) With throttle plate closed, measure the output voltage.
The output voltage should be approximately 4.2 volts. If output
voltage is not within specification, loosen TPS retaining screws.
5) Partially tighten one retaining screw. Rotate TPS to
obtain correct output voltage. Tighten retaining screws once correct
voltage is obtained.
Checking & Adjusting - 4.0L (Manual Transmission)
1) Turn ignition on. Connect voltmeter through back of wiring
harness connector. Connect negative voltmeter lead to terminal
"B" and positive voltmeter lead to terminal "A". DO NOT disconnect TPS

1988 Turn Signal & Hazard Light Systems
JEEP
DESCRIPTION
Turn signals and hazard flashers systems use a common turn
signal/hazard light switch assembly mounted within upper steering
column housing.
FLASHER LOCATIONS
Hazard
Mounted on fuse block.
Turn Signal
Mounted on fuse block.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: Following trouble shooting is only information available
from manufacturer.
Hazard Lights (Comanche, Cherokee & Wagoneer)
If lights do not come on with hazard switch turned on, check
hazard/stop light fuse by operating stop lights. If fuse is okay,
check turn signal flasher, turn signal/hazard switch, and related
wiring. If only one hazard light does not work, check bulb.
Turn Signals (Comanche, Cherokee & Wagoneer)
If all turn signals do not work, check turn/back-up light
fuse by operating back-up lights. If fuse is okay, check turn signal
flasher, turn signal/hazard switch, and related wiring. If only one
turn signal does not work, check bulb.
TESTING
NOTE: Following trouble shooting is only information available
from manufacturer.
Hazard Indicators (Wrangler)
1) Turn ignition and hazard warning switch "ON". Check for
pulsating voltage at Light Blue (left indicator) and Dark Blue (right\
indicator) wires. If voltage is present, go to next step. If voltage
is not present, replace turn signal switch.
2) Remove bulbs for turn signal indicators. Measure
resistance across bulb terminals. If resistance is zero ohms, replace
light bulb(s). If resistance readings are not zero ohms, go to next
step.
3) Check for pulsating voltage at battery side of bulb
sockets. If voltage is present, go to next step. If voltage is not
present, repair open circuit between socket and turn signal switch
steering column connector.
4) Turn ignition off and check resistance on ground side of
bulb sockets. If resistance is zero ohms, hazard indicator circuit is
okay. If resistance reading is not zero ohms, repair open in ground
circuit.
Hazard Lights (Wrangler)
Page 1308 of 1378
1) Check operation of stop lights. If stop lights come on, go
to next step. If not, check hazard/stop light fuse. If fuse is okay,
check for voltage on battery side of hazard/stop light fuse. If
voltage is not present, repair open circuit between fusible link and
fuse block.
2) Remove hazard flasher and check for voltage on battery
side of hazard flasher at fuse block. If voltage is present, go to
next step. If voltage is not present, repair open circuit to fuse
block.
3) Measure resistance across turn signal flasher terminals.
If resistance across flasher is zero ohms, replace flasher. If
resistance is other than zero ohms, install flasher and turn ignition
on.
4) Check for voltage at Brown wire of turn signal switch
steering column connector. If voltage is present, go to next step. If
voltage is not present, repair open circuit between flasher and turn
signal switch connector.
5) Turn hazard warning switch "ON". Check for pulsating
voltage at Light Blue, Dark Blue, Yellow, and Dark Green wires. If
voltage is present, hazard light circuit is okay. If voltage is not
present, replace turn signal switch.
Turn Signals (Wrangler)
1) Turn ignition on and check operation of back-up lights. If
lights come on, go to step 3). If back-up lights do not come on, check
turn signal/back-up light fuse.
2) If fuse is okay, check for voltage at battery side of turn
signal/back-up light fuse. If voltage is not present, repair open
circuit between fuse block and ignition switch. If voltage is present,
go to next step.
3) Remove turn signal flasher and measure resistance across
flasher terminals. If resistance across flasher is zero ohms, replace
turn signal flasher. If flasher is okay, install flasher and turn
ignition on.
4) Check for voltage on battery side of flasher at fuse
block. If voltage is present, go to next step. If voltage is not
present, repair open circuit to fuse block.
5) Disconnect turn signal switch at steering column
connector. Place turn signal switch in left turn position and measure
resistance between Yellow and Purple wires. If resistance across wires
is zero ohms, replace turn signal switch. If resistance is other than
zero ohms, go to next step.
6) Place turn signal switch in right turn position and
measure resistance between Dark Green and Purple wires. If resistance
across wires is zero ohms, replace turn signal switch. If resistance
is other than zero ohms, turn signal circuit is okay.
Turn Signal Indicators (Wrangler)
