dehydrated (moisture content less than 10 parts per million).
Refrigeration oil container must be kept tightly closed at
all times when not in use, or moisture will be absorbed from the air
and introduced into the refrigeration system.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Page 199 of 1378
1) Once all diagnostic trouble codes have been obtained,
diagnostic trouble code(s) can be erased from TCM memory by
disconnecting electrical connector from TCM for at least 15 seconds.
CAUTION: DO NOT disconnect battery, as data stored in other vehicle
control modules will be lost.
2) The TCM is located behind right side of instrument panel
on Cherokee. See Fig. 1.
DRB-II OPERATING MODES
NOTE: The DRB-II can be operated in several different modes to
perform various tests. Except for voltmeter/ohmmeter and HOW
TO USE modes, all other operating modes are selected from
AW4 MENU. See ENTERING AW4 MENU under RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODES.
VOLTMETER/OHMMETER MODE
To access voltmeter/ohmmeter mode, connect Red volt-ohmmeter
test lead to Red port at top right corner of DRB-II. There are 2
different ports on top of DRB-II; ensure test lead is connected to
proper port. Access voltmeter or ohmmeter mode using manufacturer's
instructions.
NOTE: The DRB-II is grounded through transmission diagnostic
connector and only one test lead is required. When
diagnosing transmission, an external volt-ohmmeter may
sometimes be required.
HOW TO USE MODE
1) This mode gives instructions on DRB-II usage. To enter
this mode, see steps 1) through 4) of ENTERING AW4 MENU under
RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES . Select 2) HOW TO USE.
2) A series of screens will be displayed explaining DRB-II
key usage for system diagnosing.
SYSTEM TEST MODE
NOTE: SYSTEM TEST mode consists of a stationary test and a road
test. The SYSTEM TEST mode must be selected from AW4 MENU.
See ENTERING AW4 MENU under RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODES.
1) Stationary test monitors transmission system data, current
valve body solenoid failures, switch failures, correct TCM
application, calibration and operation. Road test checks all valve
body solenoids and speed sensor.
2) Technician will be instructed to place shift lever in each
gear position, starting by shifting into 1-2 position. Once
transmission is in Park, brake pedal must be depressed to check brake
switch.
3) After brake switch is checked, technician will be
instructed to slowly depress throttle. DRB-II will display 7 asterisks
( ******* ) corresponding to throttle position. While depressing
accelerator, Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) sweeps through entire
range of positions required by the TCM.
4) A corresponding asterisk will be cleared from DRB-II
display as each throttle position is sensed by TCM. Several attempts
may be required to clear all asterisks from the display, depending on
