Jeep GC 95 Climate Control Code Problem
Hi folks - hope someone can help...
I've searched the web high and low to see the cause of this problem, but whilst I see a few people have suffered the same plight - I don't see any description of the problem and what can be done to cure it. I have a 1995 JGC that has been a wonder, since it's still looking great and going strong with 240K on the clock. There are issues popping up here and there, most which I can live with or fix. But now with summer coming to CA I have one I must fix. The fan of the climate control system no longer pumps any air through unless on the high setting - so unless it is on high, the fan is not working at all (regardless of a/c setting). When turned to something other than high the code ER appears in the LED where the temp would normally be. Cannot find anything in the book - and I've check fuses etc... This was an intermittent problem for a while - now it's a full time one. I don't want to go to a dealer and have them try and sell me a new back axle... Anyone any ideas? Any help most highly appreciated - I want this car to keep on going, she's not ready for retirement yet! Thanks. |

On the manual version that is caused by a blown resistor pack, but on the automatic system it's a power module and relay combination that is located by the blower motor. (don't remember exactly where, but if you follow the blower wires you will find it.) The power module controls lower speeds and the relay runs the high speed. So if it's on high then your relay is ok, but the power module is probably toast. When the ER pops up, press either A/C or Recirc and the codes should scroll by. I've got some data on the earlier system but nothing specific for your year. 93 should be the same as 95 for the ATC system. -- DougW |

Press both A/C and RECIRC and hold down. Turn the ATC knob one click clockwise. All the segments in the display come on. Let go of A/C and RECIRC and you should see 00 in the display with no stickman. Push either A/C or RECIRC once. You should see the stickman again. Write down the fault codes you see at this point. 25 or 29 means the ATC module is toast and the rest of the codes may be gibberish. From there, you can check a few of the major circuits. Just turn the ATC knob until you see a number, then push the A/C button and record the value displayed. Caution, the tests are mixed with read input value and test output circuit all jumbled together. Test I/O Subsystem Values 01 In Blower A/D OC, SC, or 00-255 or ? 02 In Blower Feedback ? or 00-255 03 Out 00-255 sets blower speed 04 Out Blower High 00=off 01= set blower high relay on. Those would be the main ones. My guess is similar to Doug's, the blower control is toast. The relay is enough to get high speed only. If you ever smelled magic smoke, the controller probably shorted out, otherwise is either open or the input from the ATC panel isn't getting to it. |

Interesting, that is the same procedure in my book for the 93 Guess the system didn't change much till 96. -- DougW |

Jeep GC 95 Climate Control Code Problem
Hi there,
So many thanks for the help so far. Much appreciated. So I did the steps suggested. When I get to diagnostic mode, and hit a/c once I get the code 48. Then turning the ATC knob hitting the a/c button, and doing this 10 times from numbers 1 - 10, gave me the following results 1 - 89 2 - 00 3 - 00 4 - 00 5 - 44 6 - 95 7 - 12 8 - 42 9 - 00 10 - 94 Clearly I need to invest in an after market manual. But in the meantime any additional comments on what your thinking is given those codes, would be great. Many thanks again Duncan |

Jeep GC 95 Climate Control Code Problem
Hi there,
Thought I would post a conclusion / follow up to this since I got it fixed. firstly thanks for the help. It was a blown blower resistor block, picked one up from a jeep dealership (not cheap!) and just replaced the old one under the passenger side foot well - nice easy fix! Works perfectly and the jeep is ready for summer and heading towards 250K miles! Thanks again |
