I've got a queston for those who have done this. I have a 90, my parts jeep is a 95. Now will the crank postioning sensor work from the 95 onto the 90?

the mounts on the side of the AX-15 are the same on the aw4 for the CPS, so even if the plugs were different, you could use you 90 CPS.

ok i did this swap, but now my jeep doesnt start, new cps, but it still cranks and wont fire. Do i need the ecu from a manual, or will it work with the auto ecu? please any help would be great.

when you replaced your CPS did you make sure no connectors are broke off or corroded? check your fuses in both panels to make sure they all are good. Does your check engine light come on when you flip your key forward? if it doesn't the computer is not getting signal/power. make sure the flywheel did not damage your new cps too. How long was the jeep down for to do your swap?

did everyone have to cut down the transmission input shaft to do this swap?

thanks for this for im debating on doing the same swap.

ok so i swapped the ax15 with good 4.0 98 xj into a 2000 aw4 with blown 4.o // everything basically is set up but the nss bypass... it is pretty clear what needs to be done with that... what about the clutch safety switch...is that used or do i disregard that since the nss is being set up and that will bypass the css?

I did this swap to my 96 and i disregarded the Clutch saftey switch and it hasn't given me any problems. And one other thing i am not sure if it mentioned in this write up is Reverse light on and Aw-4 they come on through the Nss But the Ax-15 has it on set of wires that run to wiring harness. For mine when i got the tranny out the junk yard i cut the wire off the harness in the junk yard that runs down the pass side and connects to the a set of wire on the side of the tranny. Since i bypassed the Nss conecting the 2 wires together i thought that if i connected the Ax-15 reverse light wire to the Nss wire that make the revese lights come on i Believe that is was A and E on the connector and it works great.

jomps · 06-20-2010, 11:42 PM

well i am using the harness that went with the 98 manual and 4.o // so i guess the reverse lights are hooked in as we set that up the other day... the jeep still is not starting though....i got power, but i wont crank or turn over... exactly like the clutch is not pushed in...the wiring at the clutch is not together...if i connect the two wires at the clutch will it work, or do i need to use the NSS bypass to fake out the starter? thats what i think im gonna try next time i get to the garage? any comments?

lowicz96 · 06-21-2010, 08:20 AM

you need to bypass the NSS or trick it into thinking its always in N or something, kinda sounds like your problem if you havent touched it

Hi guys, i just finished this conversion a couple weeks ago. I am having some issues and was looking for some advice. The first problem is that when i down shift and then put the tranny in neutral the engine wants to stall unless i hit the throttle and then it idles fine. I saw someone else with this problem earlier in the forum and he was able to fix it but did not say how. The other problem is i am getting tranny codes, so i unplugged my tcm. No i am getting p1698 which is tcm not working code. Is there a way of tricking the pcm to think the tcm is connect, with out replacing the ecm with a manual one. My bigges problem is when i go to get my jeep inspected it will fail because of the check engine light on.

Thanks all
