1992 YJ Coolant Tem/ ECU problem
Hi all,
I used to post/lurk about 7 (could it really be that long??) years ago.
My school dropped usenet, so I was disconnected. Back then I had a
'94 Sahara YJ.
I'm out of options on this one and turning here for help.
I now have a '92 YJ. It had a lit 'Check Engine' and is throwing these
codes:
12-ECU recently lost power--Not a big deal.
33-open A/C circuit--No A/C on this truck, not big deal.
22-Engine coolant temperature(ECT)sensor input above the maximum (or
below the minimum) acceptable voltage--This is the problem
55-end of codes--Good.
The story:
I recently bought this truck knowing there were a few quirks. The temp
gauge didn't work--I saw the code 22, so I put in a new coolant temp
sender. The speedometer didn't work either. Hmmmm.
Still had the same Code 22 with the new temp sender. I checked and
doublechecked all the wiring to the computer from the ECT. Still a
Code 22.
I thought the computer was on its way out. I pulled the one from the
'94 and dropped it in: runs fine, but still gives a 22. (the '94
computer into the '92 was a gamble. i couldn't find anything saying it
_wouldn't_ work, so i tried it. It is not throwing any new codes, so
i'll say it works--YMMV.)
I'm back to trying to troubleshoot the wiring. Ugh.
Anyone have a similar story or have advice on what to try next? Am I
missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance!

The temperature sensor may still be in the same location as this

Re: 1992 YJ Coolant Tem/ ECU problem
Bill,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I believe that the 22 code refers to the coolant temp sensor, which is
on the waterpump housing.
I think the thermal switch you showed above is roughly (exactly?)
equivalent to the Code 23 part ("Intake air temperature sensor input
above or below acceptable voltage.") on the FI'd 4.0.
Thanks though...I appreaciate all the help I can get on this one.

Re: 1992 YJ Coolant Tem/ ECU problem
I would call what's on the thermostat housing a temperature sending
unit.
Might look through the codes at:
http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/fault/index.html to better define your
problem.
