    What is the best way to test the ECM to see if it is working correctly?

    Success... but more like dumb luck than brains. OBD scanner didn't show anything that important (high voltage to fuel gauge) that would keep the engine from starting. Checked fuses, relays & grounds. OK. Switched PCM with the one from 1997. No difference except no high voltage to fuel gauge...

    What is the best way to test the ECM to see if it is working correctly?

    I agree. Just want to know if the swap will start the Jeep or at least give some codes.

    What is the best way to test the ECM to see if it is working correctly?

    Bought a Launch C reader Professional 123Xl V2.0 . Will see if this helps me out but since the Jeep is not throwing any codes, with my luck, I doubt it.

    What is the best way to test the ECM to see if it is working correctly?

    Will be visiting my son this 4th of July weekend and will be working on his TJ. How about switching the computer with one from a 1997 manual transmission? Just want to rule out the PCM is not the cause of the Jeep not starting. Since there is no check engine warning light being shone I...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Installed Dirtworks rear bumper. Kind of wondering if the red "D" rings are are a bit much and maybe chrome or stainless would look better to match tail lights.

    What is the best way to test the ECM to see if it is working correctly?

    Working on my sons 1999, manual trans 4.0 L, TJ that won't stay running & battery not keeping full charge. My son has replaced many parts already... new fuel pump, crank sensor, new battery, alternator & starter, ignition switch etc. I'm thinking PCM. I've replaced the PCM on my 2006 TJ 4.0L...

    Installing Rubicon rocker guards on a TJ / LJ that didn't come with them

    MountaineerTom... I've recently acquired a set of Rubicon rocker guards which are now freshly painted.... Rust-oleum Satin Black. Waiting on ordered stuff to mount. Don't really want to use double stick tape in case I'd ever want to remove them at some time. Question I have is what "3M tape"...
