bytes for each ID.
² When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on, one valid CAN ID received at least once, and no U0002-CAN Bus Off Performance
DTC present.
² Set Condition:
When the TCM detects an incorrect CAN ID from the Electronic Shift Module (ESM).

TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - NAG1 - STANDARD PROCEDURE

My 06 grand cherokee laredo has a 4x4 emblem on the vehicle, and a traction button on the dash, how do I operate the 4x4?

Your jeep should have full time four wheel drive. To place the transfer case in low range look down to the console towards the rear and you will see a "T" shaped handle. To place it into low range you should stop place the vehicle into park and lift the T handle and in the dash a 4X4 indicator lamp will light up. The traction button on the dash would be used in 4 wheel high mode when you start to experience wheel slippage upon take off from a stopped position. This will give you a little more control. You only need to use the low range for very slow speeds in mud or snow. Otherwise just leave it in high range because it is always using 4 wheel drive. This is a very reliable system which Jeep has refined over the years. Your Grand Cherokee is not designed fro hard core off road use. Hard core off road use will destroy the undercarriage. The Grand Cherokee is more of a luxury soccer mom 4X4 with good road manners, a comfortable ride, and good reliability.

Economy

Any vehicle that has to drive its own wheels requires horsepower. The more wheels that require power the more energy spent. If you only require 2 wheel drive to get you along that is good. Sometimes 4 wheel drive is needed. 4 wheel drive is needed in drastic situations. Does 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive differ? YES The power required to drive 4 wheels is increased 5.7% as to run 2 wheels. 4 wheel drive should be used at slow speed to overcome loss of traction of 2 wheel drive.
I hope this helps Moe

'93 Jeep Gr. Cherokee 4x4 switch warning

this switch does not switch the vehicle from 2 wheel to 4 wheel drive. Grand cherokee have a manual shifter for that. The 4x4 switch is on top of the transfer case and tells the driver information display what 4 wheel drive mode the Jeep is in. ex..if you have selectrac, in 2 wheel the rear wheels on the display will light up, in 4 wheel all 4 wheels will light up, in 4 wheel low it will have the word low lit up in yellow. This is the only purpose for this switch and a bad one will not affect the functioning of the 4 wheel drive. Check out Rockauto.com and a new one can be purchased for about 35 dollars. If you call the dealership and ask for a 4 wheel drive switch, they will have no clue what you are talking about. The actual name is " 4WD indicator light switch"
