sensor JEEP CHEROKEE 1995 Service Workshop Manual

The two pivot cranks are joined by a connecting link,
and a drive link connects the motor crank to the drive
link near the left pivot. Pressed-in plastic bushings in
the ends of the links can be replaced if worn or dam-
aged.
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR
The two-speed permanent magnet wiper motor has
an integral transmission and park switch. The motor
is mounted to the engine side of the cowl panel with
a reinforcement/stud plate and a rubber-isolated
mounting bracket. The wiper motor output shaft
passes through the cowl panel into the cowl plenum
area, where a crank arm attached to the output shaft
drives the wiper drive link.
Wiper speed is controlled by current flow to the ap-
propriate set of brushes. The wiper motor completes
its wipe cycle when the switch is turned OFF, and
parks the blades in the lowest portion of the wipe
pattern. The wiper motor assembly can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the entire motor assembly must be
replaced. The crank arm, mounting bracket, and re-
inforcement/stud plate are available for service.
LIFTGATE WIPER MOTOR
The liftgate wiper motor contains integral elec-
tronic controls and a transmission to provide three
operating modes:
²intermittent wipe with a fixed 5 to 8 second delay
between wipes
²constant wipe that operates when the liftgate
washer is operated
²a park mode that runs the motor until the wiper
blade reaches the park position after the liftgate
wiper switch or ignition switch is turned OFF.
The liftgate wiper motor can not be repaired. If
faulty, the entire assembly must be replaced.
WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
Controls for the windshield wiper and washer sys-
tems are contained in the multi-function switch con-
trol lever. The multi-function switch is mounted on
the left side of the steering column between the
steering wheel and the instrument panel. This switch
also controls many other functions. The multi-func-
tion switch can not be repaired. If any function of the
switch is faulty, the entire switch must be replaced.
LIFTGATE WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
The single two-function switch on the instrument
panel right of the steering column controls the lift-
gate wiper and washer functions. The rocker-type
switch features a detent in the WIPE position, but
only momentary contact in the WASH position. Both
the liftgate wiper and liftgate washer motors will op-
erate continuously for as long as the switch is held in
the WASH position. The switch can not be repaired;
if faulty, it must be replaced.
INTERMITTENT WIPE MODULE
In addition to low and high speed, the optional inter-
mittent wipe system has a delay mode. The delay mode
has a range of 2 to 15 seconds. The length of the delay
is selected with a variable resistor in the wiper (multi-
function) switch and is accomplished by electronic cir-
cuitry within the intermittent wipe module. If the
washer knob is depressed while the wiper (multi-func-
tion) switch is in the OFF position, the intermittent
wipe module will operate the wiper motor for approxi-
mately 2 wipes and automatically turn the motor off.
The intermittent wipe module is mounted to the
lower instrument panel, behind the knee blocker and
near the steering column with a hook and loop fas-
tener patch. The module can not be repaired.
WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLES
The two fluidic washer nozzles are riveted into
openings in the cowl grille panel below the wind-
shield and are not adjustable. Washer fluid is fed to
the nozzles through hoses clipped to the underside of
the cowl grille panel. The nozzles can not be repaired
and, if faulty, should be replaced.
LIFTGATE WASHER NOZZLE
The single liftgate washer nozzle snaps into place
on the liftgate wiper arm. Washer fluid is fed to the
nozzle from the washer reservoir in the engine com-
partment. A liftgate washer hose system is routed
through the body of the vehicle with the body wiring
harness from the reservoir to the liftgate. The fluid
passes through a nipple on the liftgate wiper motor
output shaft bezel to a hose clipped to the underside
of the wiper arm. The nozzle can not be repaired and,
if faulty, should be replaced.
WASHER RESERVOIR
The washer solvent reservoir is mounted to the left
front inner fender shield near the cowl panel. The
same reservoir is used for both the standard front
and optional liftgate washer systems. It also has a
provision for a low washer fluid level sensor. Refer to
Group 8E - Instrument Panel and Gauges for diagno-
sis and service of the sensor. The reservoir and filler
cap are available for service.
WASHER PUMPS
The washer pump and motor are press-fit into a
rubber grommet near the bottom of the washer res-
ervoir. Vehicles with the optional liftgate wiper/
washer system have two pumps installed in the
single reservoir. A permanently lubricated and sealed
motor is coupled to a rotor-type pump. Washer fluid
is gravity fed from the reservoir to the pump. The
pump then pressurizes the fluid and forces it through
the plumbing to the nozzles when the motor is ener-
gized. The pump and motor can not be repaired. If
faulty, the entire assembly must be replaced.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The airbag system is a standard equipment safety
device on XJ (Cherokee) models. It is designed to pro-
tect the driver from serious injury, caused by a fron-
tal impact of the vehicle. If the airbag module
assembly is defective and non-deployed, refer to
Chrysler Corporation current return list for proper
handling procedures.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the airbag system.AIRBAG MODULE
The airbag module protective cover is the only vis-
ible part of the system. The module is mounted di-
rectly to the steering wheel. Under the airbag
module cover, the airbag cushion and its supporting
components are contained. The airbag module con-
tains a housing to which the cushion and impact sen-
sor/inflator assembly are attached and sealed. The
airbag module is non-serviceable, and must be re-
placed if deployed or damaged in any way.
The impact sensor/inflator assembly is mounted to
the back of the module. The inflator seals the hole in
JRESTRAINT SYSTEMS 8M - 1

the airbag cushion so it can discharge the gas it pro-
duces directly into the cushion. The protective cover
is fitted to the front of the airbag module and forms
a decorative cover in the center of the steering wheel.
Upon airbag deployment, this cover will split hori-
zontally.
STORAGE
The airbag module must be stored in its original,
special container until used for service. Also, it must
be stored in a clean, dry environment; away from
sources of extreme heat, sparks, and high electrical
energy. Always place or store the module on a surface
with the trim cover facing up to minimize movement
in case of accidental deployment.
IMPACT SENSOR/INFLATOR ASSEMBLY
The impact sensor/inflator assembly is mounted to
the back of the airbag module. It seals the hole in
the steering wheel side of the airbag cushion so that
gas produced in the inflator can be discharged di-
rectly into the cushion.
The impact sensor provides verification of the di-
rection and severity of the impact. A spherical sens-
ing mass housed in a cylinder will move forward and
rotate a D-shaft when the vehicle is subjected to a
frontal impact of sufficient severity. Airbag inflation
is designed to occur at a precisely calibrated vehicle
deceleration force, and is not linked to vehicle road
speed.The D-shaft retains two spring-loaded firing pins.
When a firing pin is released by the D-shaft, it
strikes and ignites a primer. The primer then reacts
with the pelletized, solid generant contained in the
inflator to produce the nitrogen gas that inflates the
airbag cushion.
ARMING/DISARMING MECHANISM
The steering wheel hub incorporates an airbag
arming/disarming mechanism and a specially de-
signed nut-blocker. The nut-blocker serves as a safety
to prevent removal of the airbag module until the
unit has been disarmed. A removable plastic cover
plug on the top, outer hub of the steering wheel al-
lows access to the arming screw.
When the airbag module is disarmed, the arming
screw extends upward from the steering wheel hub.
This will prevent installation of the plastic cover
plug. Also, the nut-blocker is retracted to allow ac-
cess to the two upper airbag module mounting nuts.
When the airbag module is armed, the plastic cover
plug will install flush with the outer surface of the
steering wheel hub. In addition, the nut-blocker will
prevent access to the two upper airbag module
mounting nuts.
DIAGNOSIS
This mechanical airbag system can not be diag-
nosed or repaired. The only serviced component is
the airbag module assembly. If the airbag module isdamaged in any way or deployed, it must be re-
placed.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
AIRBAG SYSTEM SERVICE (DEPLOYED)
Any vehicle which is to be returned to use after an
airbag deployment, must have the airbag module re-
placed. This is a one-time component and cannot be
reused.
AIRBAG MODULE HANDLING
UNDEPLOYED
At no time should any source of electricity be per-
mitted near the inflator on the back of the module.
When carrying an undeployed module, the trim cover
should be pointed away from the body to minimizeinjury in the event of accidental deployment. If the
module is placed on a bench or other surface, the
plastic trim cover should be face up to minimize
movement in case of accidental deployment.
In addition, the airbag module should be disarmed
whenever the steering wheel or steering column re-
quires service or removal. Failure to observe this
warning could result in accidental airbag deployment
and possible personal injury. Refer to Group 19 -
Steering for more service procedures on steering
wheel and steering column.

HELPFUL INFORMATION
As current flows through the coils in the fuel
gauge, it creates a magnetic field. One of the coils in
the gauge receives fixed current. The other coil is
connected to the level sensor. The magnetic field con-
trols the position of the fuel gauge pointer.
The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor.

ature changes, the resistance in the sensor changes,
causing a change in current draw. The K2 circuit
connects to cavity 2 of the PCM.
