NO: 08-42-95

GROUP: Electrical

DATE: Sep. 29, 1995

SUBJECT:
Body Controller Fault Codes
Which Are Option Sensitive

MODELS:
1996 (ZJ) Grand Cherokee

DISCUSSION:

Fault codes may be set in the Body Controller when no actual fault is present. This can happen if the vehicles are not equipped with features which are monitored by the body controller. Examples of these situations are as follows:

Fog Lamp Relay Open

Ambient Temp Sensor Open (Feeds Auto Temp Control and Compass Mini Trip Computer)

Memory Seat Switch Open

These codes will be present anytime a vehicle is checked if it is not equipped with these features.

Codes may also be set when the Ignition Off Draw Fuse (IOD) is not connected.
Always make sure that the IOD is in place and all other fuses are in their proper locations and not open when fault codes are present.
