PASSENGER'S POWER LOCK SWITCH
8P - 6 POWER LOCKSJ

POWER LOCK MOTOR
(1) Once it is determined which lock motor is inop-
erative, that motor can be tested. Disconnect the wire
connector at the motor. Apply 12 volts to the motor
terminals to check its operation in one direction. Re-
verse the polarity to check the operation in the other
direction. If OK, repair circuits to power lock/unlock
relays as required. If not OK, replace the motor.
(2) If all lock motors are inoperative, the problem
may be caused by one shorted motor. Disconnecting a
shorted motor will allow the good motors to operate.
Disconnect each motor connector, one at a time, and
re-check both lock and unlock functions while operat-
ing the door lock switch. If disconnecting one motor
causes the other motors to become functional, go
back to step 1 to test the disconnected motor.
KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER
(1) Depress either transmitter button and note
whether red Light-Emitting Diode (LED) on trans-
mitter case lights. If OK, go to next step. If not OK,
replace batteries as described under Keyless Entry
Transmitter in Service Procedures. Test transmitter
operation. If OK, discard faulty batteries. If not OK,
go to next step.
(2) Perform transmitter program procedure with
suspect transmitter and another known good trans-
mitter, as described in Service Procedures. Test oper-
ation with both transmitters. If both transmitters fail
to operate power locks, see Keyless Entry Module di-
agnosis. If known good transmitter operates power
locks and suspect transmitter does not, replace faulty
transmitter. Be certain to perform transmitter pro-
gram procedure again when replacing faulty trans-
mitter and to erase test transmitter access code from
keyless entry module.
KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE
(1) Check fuse 9 in fuseblock module. If OK, go to
next step. If not OK, replace fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at fuse 9. If OK, go to
next step. If not OK, repair circuit from power distri-
bution center.
(3) Access keyless entry module connectors as de-
scribed in Keyless Entry Module Remove/Install.
(4) Unplug module connector from module. Check
connector and receptacle in module for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals and pins. If OK, go to
next step. If not OK, repair as required.
(5) Probe connector cavity for module terminal 1
and check for battery voltage. If OK, go to next step.
If not OK, repair circuit to fuse 9 as required.
(6) Install a jumper wire from connector cavity for
module terminal 1 to connector cavity for module ter-
minal 3. Doors should lock. If OK, go to step 8. If not
OK, go to next step.
(7) Check for continuity between connector cavity
for module terminal 3 and lock relay terminal 3 (86).
There should be continuity. If OK, replace lock relay.
If not OK, repair circuit as required.
(8) Install a jumper wire from connector cavity for
module terminal 1 to connector cavity for module ter-
minal 4. Doors should unlock. If OK, replace module.
If not OK, go to next step.
(9) Check for continuity between connector cavity
for module terminal 4 and unlock relay terminal 3
(86). There should be continuity. If OK, replace un-
lock relay. If not OK, repair circuit as required.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER
To replace transmitter batteries, separate transmit-
ter case by prying gently with a trim stick or other
wide flat-bladed tool at center seam (Fig. 2). Case
snaps open and shut. Replace with CR1616 3-volt
batteries or equivalent (Fig. 3).
TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
(1) Open the driver's door of the vehicle. Leave it
open through the programming procedure.
(2) Move the mechanical door lock lever to the
LOCK position.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(4) Within 20 seconds, aim a transmitter at the
keyless entry module receiver dome and press the
LOCK button for at least 5 seconds. Once the module
accepts the programming code, the driver's door will
unlock.
(5) Once the first transmitter has been pro-
grammed, additional transmitters (up to 4) may beprogrammed into the module. Within 20 seconds of
the previous transmitter programming, move the me-
chanical door lock lever to the LOCK position. Aim
another transmitter at the receiver dome and press
the LOCK button for at least 5 seconds. The door
lock will cycle again.
(6) To lock the programmed codes into the module,
the ignition switch must be turned OFF and back
ON within 20 seconds after programming the last
transmitter's code. At that time, all previous codes
are erased from the module.

GENERAL INFORMATION
A six-way driver's side power seat is an available
option on XJ (Cherokee) models. The power seat sys-
tem receives battery feed through fuse 6 in the power
distribution center and circuit breaker 16 in the fuse-
block module at all times.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the power seat system. Refer to Group
8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit descrip-
tions and diagrams.
POWER SEAT SWITCH
The power seat can be adjusted in six different
ways using the power seat switch (Fig. 1). The switch
is located on the lower outboard side of the seat
cushion. Refer to the owner's manual for more infor-
mation on power seat switch functions and seat ad-
justing procedures. The individual switches cannot be
repaired. If one switch fails, the entire switch module
must be replaced.
POWER SEAT ADJUSTER/MOTORS
There are three reversible motors that operate the
power seat adjuster. The motors are connected to
worm-drive gearboxes in the adjuster by drive cables.
The front and rear of a seat are operated by differ-
ent motors. They can be raised or lowered indepen-
dently of each other. When the center seat switch is
pushed to the UP or DOWN position, both front and
rear motors operate in unison, moving the entire seat
up or down. The forward-rearward motor is operated
by pushing the center seat switch to the FORWARD
or REARWARD position.
When a switch is actuated, battery feed and a
ground path are applied through the switch contacts
to the motor(s). The motor(s) operate to move the
seat in the selected direction until the switch is re-
leased, or until the travel limit of the power seat ad-juster is reached. When the switch is moved in the
opposite direction, the battery feed and ground path
to the motor(s) are reversed through the switch con-
tacts. This causes the motor to run in the opposite di-
rection.
Each motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker
to protect it from overload. Consecutive or frequent
resetting must not be allowed to continue or the mo-
tors may be damaged. Make the necessary repairs.
The power seat adjuster and motors can not be re-
paired, and are serviced only as a complete unit. If
any component in this unit should fail, the entire as-
sembly must be replaced.

DIAGNOSIS
Before any testing is attempted the battery should
be fully charged and all connections and pins cleaned
and tightened to ensure proper continuity and
grounds.
With the dome lamp on, apply switch in direction
of the failure. If the dome lamp dims, the seat may
be jamming. Check for binding or obstructions. If the
dome lamp does not dim, then proceed with the fol-
lowing electrical tests.
POWER SEAT ADJUSTER/MOTORS
Operate the power seat switch to move all three
seat motors. The seat should move in all directions.
If not OK, proceed as follows. If one or more motors
operate, see diagnosis for Power Seat Switch.
(1) Check circuit breaker 16 in the fuseblock mod-
ule. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, replace circuit
breaker.
(2) Remove switch mounting screws and check for
battery voltage at red wire at switch connector. If
OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair wiring to cir-
cuit breaker.(3) Check for continuity between black wire at
switch connector and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair
wiring to ground.
(4) See diagnosis for Power Seat Switch. If switch
continuity checks OK, replace faulty motor/adjuster
assembly. If switch continuity is not OK, replace
faulty switch.
POWER SEAT SWITCH
To check the power seat switch, remove the switch
from its mounting position. Use an ohmmeter and
see the Power Seat Switch Continuity chart. Deter-
mine if switch continuity is correct. If OK, see Power
Seat Adjuster/Motors diagnosis. If not OK, replace
faulty switch assembly.
