Diagnosis & System Testing
1989 Jeep Wrangler Base, 4.2 T, Standard, BA10/5SECTION Diagnosis & System Testing
- This is an interactive functional test of a particular system. During testing, DRB-II will provide instructions to technician. After task is performed, press "Enter" key. A fault will be generated since the technician has performed a requested action and tester had not seen any indication from the diagnostic pins.
- Some tests such as engine coolant temperature sensor require longer periods before the circuit is automatically faulted (depending on ambient temperature).
- If a correct operating condition is not seen within a preprogrammed amount of time, the DRB-II keyboard is locked out. If there is a circuit problem, the test must time-out (the "ENTER" key cannot be used to force an error condition).
- After performing a "SYSTEM TEST", if the DRB-II was unable to detect a fault with the system, the DRB-II will display "VEHICLE PASSES ELECTRICAL TEST".
- One of the following alpha characters may appear as a prefix to a fault code. The character displayed can be used as an indication of where in the engine test sequence the fault was detected. Alpha prefixes are displayed only during a "SYSTEM TEST".
- "A" (First Key Off) - Ignition switch in the "OFF" position.
- "B" (Key On Before Fuel Pump Drops Out) - Ignition switch in the "ON" position. "Fuel Pump Drops Out" refers to fuel pump relay being activated by the ECU and fuel pump being activated. If the ECU does not detect a crank signal within a few seconds after ignition is turned on, the ECU will automatically open ground circuit to fuel pump relay. This will disable fuel pump.
- "C" (Key On After Fuel Pump Drops Out) - Ignition switch is in the "ON" position after fuel pump relay has timed out (fuel pump off).
- "D" (First Crank) - The engine is cranking but not running.
- "E" (First Engine Start) - Engine idling.
- "F" (Second Key Off Before Fuel Pump Drops Out) - Ignition switch is in the "OFF" position for the second time before fuel pump relay has timed out.
- "G" (Second Key Off After Fuel Pump Drops Out) - Ignition switch is in the "OFF" position for the second time before fuel pump relay has timed out.
- "G" (Second Key On) - No text.
- "I" (Second Engine Start) - No text.
- "J" (Last Key Off) - No text.
- "X" (ECU Defined Faults) - Faults detected by ECU on-board diagnostics.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
