I believe the connection is made at the fuse block, if it like WJ Grand Cherokees. You may check by: 1. Turn the ignition key ON THREE TIMES in succession: ON : OFF : ON : OFF : ON (within FIVE seconds)

  1. Count the number of times the check engine lamp on the dash flashes. The number of flashes represents the error code. There will be a short pause between the flashes representing the different digits of the code. Longer pauses separate individual trouble codes.
  2. Code 55 will be the last code to be displayed.
  3. These codes will also be displayed >

The 95 doesn't use OBD-II and has diag connectors scattered in a few places for the diagnostic readout box. e.g. inside near the console for abs, over near the radiator overflow bottle near the powertrain control module for the main data link connector.

The FSM [strongly recommend picking one up] has the locations but refers you to the powertrain diagnostic procedures manual for details on the older scan tool.

Thanks, that is the main one for the PCM stuff, but there are other identical connectors in a coupla other locations on the 95 ZJ called out for their appropriate subsystems in the FSM

Gotta get a round tuit and get me another flatbed scanner for posting pictures.

The OBD II specification says the data port must be located along the bottom edge of the dash board. It is generally in the area above your left leg while youa re driving. Usually it is exposed and you do not have to hunt for it, this is part of the specification -- the port has to be easy to locate -- but some automakers -- Jeep isn't among them as far as I know -- that put the data port behind a cover but when they do this they are required to clearly annotate the cover as containing the data port, and nothing else can be behaind the cover with the data port.

One thing that you might find is that your '95 is OBD I, not OBD II. Some '95 cars and trucks are OBD II, but the OBD II specification was not required until '96 model production.

As an OBD I compliant vehicle, you can buy a Chrysler scan tool for about $30.

'95s are definitely obd 1 and have a couple connectors. For the engine stuff it is pretty obvious near the engine controller. Another one inside by the console up post for the gewgaws.
