Note. For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For circuit identification and wiring diagram, see CHEROKEE wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.

Note. DTC P0505: IAC MOTOR CIRCUIT is monitored immediately after ignition is turned on with battery voltage more than 11.5 volts.
