DirtyComanche Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 According to Rockauto they are unique to that year, which is not surprising, with the exception that they list that some of the manual transmission ones work for 95-96 (I'm guessing a handful of very early 96s might use the 95 ECM, or it's listed wrong, there is a 96 specific ECM listed which is what they normally look like). https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/jeep,1996,cherokee,4.0l+l6,1180314,electrical,engine+control+module+(ecm+computer),2896 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Friend of mine's '96 XJ just got written off by MPI, spun it on ice back in April and kissed a guardrail with both ends. Likely will be on the rural tender in Erickson. 4x4/aw4, pretty sure he bought it new. It ran and drove pretty good before the incident but it's got a bad case of the steel termites, hence the write-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sam Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 96 ECU is unique since it is OBDII but is also pre facelift. You might be complaining about the fact its a one year only ECU, But I would remind you that more XJs were made in 1996 than in 1994 and 1995 combined, more were made in 96 than in 97, or 98, or 99, or 00, or 2001. In fact, more XJs were made in 1996 THAN IN ANY OTHER MODEL YEAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDude Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I have 96 4.0 Auto Cherokee I'm parting out right now if you still need it. I just may need a week or two to drive it to the final resting place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
