THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES SERVICE BULLETIN 25-001-07, DATED FEBRUARY

HIGHLIGHTED WITH **ASTERISKS**. THIS BULLETIN ALSO INCLUDES THE
ADDITION OF LIFETIME WARRANTY EXTENSION X51 .
SUBJECT:
1/M Read iness Check Continues To Indicate OBD System Is Not Ready For l/M Testing
(X51 Liftetime Warranty Extension)
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves modifying wiring in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
MODELS:
2005 - 2006

(T J)

Wra ngler

NOTE: This Extended Warranty Bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 2.4L or
4.0L engine (sales code ED1 or ERH respectively).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
**Th e Catalyst Monitor, Oxygen Sensor Monitor, and Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitors may
indicate "Not Ready" even if the monitor is operating correctly and determining pass/fail
results. Two or more monitors indicating "Not Ready" will resu lt in vehicle rejection during
an l/M test. In addition, th e vehicle On Board Diagnostics (OBD) system may not indicate
readiness for l/M emissions testing during the key-on test. (See 'Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance Programs' in section 7 of the W rangler owner's manual to determine if
ve hicle is ready for 1/M testing).**
DIAGNOSIS:
After turning ignition key to the ON position without cranking the engine, the Malfu nction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) should remain illuminated solid. If the MIL flashes for 10 seconds
approximately 15 seconds after turning the key to the ON position (without cranking the
engine) and the n returns to solid illumination, the vehicle is not ready for 1/M testing.
Perform the Repair Proced ure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Remove and isolate the positive and negative battery cables from the battery.
2. Remove the Power Distribution Center (PDC) cover from the PDC.
3. Locate the ASD (Auto Shut Down) and the Fuel Pump relays in the PDC.
4. Remove the two nuts used to secure the positive battery cable to the PDC. Remove
the positive battery cable from the PDC.
5. Remove the PDC from its bracket and remove the cover from the bottom of the PDC
to expose the underside wiring.
6. Locate the terminal end in PDC cavity A 13 that connects to the ASD relay pin 85. Two
20 gauge wires, each of PK/WT color, are crimped to this terminal end (Fig. 1 ).

8.

At PDC cavity A13 (ASD), locate the one PK/WT wire that connects to the fuel pump
relay terminal.
Cut the PK/WT wire, that connects to the fuel pump relay, as close to the PDC cavity
A13 terminal as possible (Fig. 2).

9.

At the same PDC cavity A 13, cut the other PK/WT wire approximately 2 inches from
the terminal.
10. There are now three (3) PK/WT wires. Strip approximately 0.25 inches of the insulation
from the ends of all three PK/WT wires.
11. Spice the one PK/WT wire leading from fuel pump relay to the one PK/WT wire leading
from wire harness bundle with convolute (Fig. 4). Be sure to slide shrink tube over
wire before crimping. Splice the wires with kit p/n 05018395AA.

NOTE: The remaining ASD relay wire in PDC cavity A13 (2 inch lead) should not be
connected to anything at this point.

12. Locate the RDNL 18 gauge wire connected to the terminal end in PDC cavity A15.
This wire connects the ASD relay pin 30 to fuse #9 (ASD power) in the PDC.
13. Cut this wire approximately 2 inches from the PDC cavity A 15 terminal (ASD relay pin
30) (Fig. 3).

14. Strip approximately 0.25 inches of insulation from both ends of the RDNL wire cut in
Step #13.
15. Splice the two RDNL wires to the one remaining PK/WT wire (2 inch lead at A13)
together (Fig. 4). Be sure to slide shrink tube over wire before crimping. Splice the
wires with kit p/n 05018395AA.
16. After both splices are complete, solder crimp splices with non-acid core solder.
17. Slide shrink tube over soldered splices and shrink with a heat gun until sealant is
visible on both ends of the splice (Fig. 4 ).

18. Install the cover on the bottom of the PDC.
19. Install the PDC to its bracket.
20. Install the positive battery cable to the PDC. Tighten both attaching nuts to 11.3 Nm
(100 in. lbs.).
21. Install the positive and negative battery cables from the battery.
22. Set the clock to the correct time.
23. After the Repair Procedure is completed, the vehicle will need to be driven to update
the OBD system. It may require several days of normal drive cycles to update all of the
required OBD monitors.
a. The vehicle is ready for l/M emissions testing when the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) remains illuminated continuously after turning the ignition key to the ON
position without cranking the engine.
b. The vehicle is NOT ready for l/M emissions testing, when the MIL flashes for 1O
seconds approximately 15 seconds after turning the key to the ON position (without
cranking the engine) and then returns to continuous illumination. The vehicle will
require further drive cycles. If this condition persists after several days of further

drive cycles, then additional diagnosis may be required.
