reevesmanche87 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Just came into possession of an '87 Comanche. Who could tell me what these are for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 As warren said they are pre OBD diagnostic connectors. Only three things can read the ECU. MS-1700, Snap on diag readers and Nickintimes REM scan tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Mohler Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 DRB2 will also read if you have the adapter, there is an adapter for sale on E-bay for 60 some $ saw it yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 They are pretty quality. Granted the cases are 3d printed but for what nickintimes is doing being a one man operation, it suffices. They do a pretty good job without spending a crap load of money on a snap on or hunting down an MS-1700. I'm pretty sure they will last as long as there are Renix Jeeps still on the road, like most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool I visited his site the other day, would be nice to have rather than winging it all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Highly recommend it. Really helps hunting down those pesky sensor issues. Course I think his program for the 2.5L is off but I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I do an adjustment to the TPS it does something funky with my engine. I can't explain it but it doesn't run right like she should. So I have to whip out my AMC TBI book and readjust it to the specs in the book. So his scan tool always throws his "Check Engine" light saying the TPS is out of spec when it really isn't. 88 TBI Renix. Everything is still on and attached and works as it should when she left the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an ISA motor exerciser tool that I don't have much use for, I modified it so you can test the nose switch as well. In case you know someone that would be intrested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) You have piqued my interest in the tool. Doesn't it require the MS-1700 though? Never mind. It is a stand alone. Edited October 27, 2019 by eaglescout526 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
