Good Diagnosis. Normally I would say tow that Jeep POS to the junkyard, but that vehicle has been taken care of and deserves to fight on. Nice to see an old vehicle that has not been abused to death.

This is proper analysis! Not just spraying the problem with new parts

I noticed no activity on the dash cluster initially. Then a reading on the fuel gauge after PCM change.

Just had my wife's 2021 wk2 with the V6 fixed for this issue. Could only get it to crank and not fail when using the remote start. It would always start after the fail. After 2 dealer visits they finally tested the Fuel system and found it needed the filter and sending unit. Little to no pressure, but no error codes or anything. All at only 25k miles. Crazy. I know this video is on an older Grand cherokee but hope it helps someone who is searching fort answers on a newer jeep.

I have a '97 GC that's purely an off-road toy that had been parked for over 3 years. I went to start it about 6 months ago and had the EXACT same problem as this customer. I have scoured the internet for answers, but couldn't find anything definitive, but it wasn't a huge deal because the GC isn't a daily driver. I started looking into it more just a few days ago. This is BY FAR the most informative video I have seen! Very well explained, gentleman! Even before seeing your video, I ordered a reman PCM because it really couldn't be anything else.

Dude I absolutely love your videos and you really take the time to deep dive into the issues and prove it without just shotgunning parts or guessing the repair.

The day in the life of a mobile mechanic ! Always carry a long set of jumper cables...they don't require charging up. Nice diag. I was hoping you would have gotten the okay from the customer to bring back a new battery from the parts store, 700 CCA or greater. Peace.

@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO My sources have lead me to believe the Walmart Batteries, their upper line, are the best value out there on average.

I keep a jump pack and jumper cables that usually never get used because jump packs are just awesome! Cables would have came in handy.

As an aside, I can attest that the Autowit is the Jam! Got one on Eric's recommendation and it already saved me from a dead battery reading at 6 volts.

@@scientist100 But if you have a car or battery charger, booster nearby you can always make sure it's full on way to a call just in case. I ordered one. It was $30 off retail price on Amazon today so that made the price more appealing as a tool that could get me out of a jam on a job. If it's a job where it'll be overnight then I generally take my little $35 NOCO 1 amp charger and use that so it charges the battery and if someone were to steal it night like I would be out $100 rather $35, actually about a little less than $32.50 as I have a couple plus a 5 Amp charger. 100Amp schumacher maintainer for programming, Die Hard booster box that i've had a few years I got from Menards for about $119 before taxes at the time as it has a built in inverter, 5v USB plugs, mini compressor for airing tires up in a jam.

The e c m is really easy to pull a part and resolder the bridge as needed and only takes less than a hour and will save you hundreds . I've done this on several of the Cherokee jeeps .

Two fun things about the 4.0 ... 1) it will start and not run if the battery is dead. You have to throttle it manually to keep the rpms up. 2) unless you use a Mopar CPS, it'll never run right (or for long)

Beautiful way to end a hard works day lol 😆

What company did you use to get the PCM? I have a friend with the same problem and we know it's a PCM

I have a 2007 Chevy equinox and they made this vehicle from 05 to 09 I think. I’ve change the crank sensor and had problems cause wouldn’t start ruff idle and cut off. The point I’m getting at when you change the crank sensor replace it with the exact part manufacturer that came out from the vehicle not all manufacturer wire there crank sensor the same.

I have the old gen of autowit and it failed on me but luckly i got it replaced by the manufacturer. I used it very little and it is decent but the battery must have a bit of juice or it wont crank over a completely dead battery.

@MrXyzasdf

3 жыл бұрын

I have the second-gen Autowit. The Autowit has more than enough capacity to jump a completely flat battery but because it lacks an "override mode" whereby it won't allow current to pass if it doesn't detect a small voltage at the leads, this is a protection mechanism to prevent accidental discharge. To overcome this limitation, simply carry along with the Autowit a 12volt tool battery with leads to trick the Autowit, allowing it to jump a completely flat battery. If you don't want to do this, look for other super cap jumper on Amazon with an override.

Hi erick. I have learned a lot from your videos. Keep up the great work!!! I hope you reply to my question.if the pcm is bad why a is there a 5 volt reference on those sensors?
