1996 Jeep Cherokee PCM
1996 Jeep Cherokee Powertrain Control Module Overview
The 1996 Jeep Cherokee PCM, designed for the XJ platform’s 4.0L inline-six engine, serves as the core electronic control unit for engine and transmission management. Introduced in 1996, this Powertrain Control Module aligns with the debut of OBD-II standards, ensuring compliance with early federal emissions regulations. The 1996 Jeep Cherokee PCM supports both the 4-speed AW-4 automatic and 5-speed AX-15 manual transmissions, making it versatile for base, SE, and Sport trims. It processes inputs from sensors like the throttle position, crankshaft, and oxygen sensors to optimize fuel injection, ignition timing, and idle control, tailored specifically for the 1996 model year’s rugged off-road performance.
Technical Specifications for 1996 Jeep Cherokee PCM
- Engine Compatibility: Calibrated for the 4.0L inline-six, delivering precise air-fuel mixture control.
- Transmission Integration: Manages AW-4 automatic or AX-15 manual shift logic.
- Part Number Range: Typically within the 560412XX series (verify specific code for fitment).
- Diagnostics: Implements first-generation OBD-II protocols, supporting basic diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Key Features of the 1996 Jeep Cherokee PCM
- Controls distributor-based ignition unique to 1996’s early XJ architecture.
- Supports 1996-specific emissions requirements, pre-dating LEV standards.
- Interfaces with early anti-lock brake systems for integrated vehicle control.
- Optimizes throttle response for off-road and highway driving conditions.
- Compatible with 1996 Cherokee’s analog gauge cluster and electrical systems.
1996 Model Year Specifics
The 1996 Jeep Cherokee PCM reflects the XJ platform’s transition to OBD-II, a significant update from pre-1996 models. Its firmware is designed for the 4.0L engine’s high-torque output, ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions. Unlike later years, the 1996 PCM lacks advanced misfire detection, focusing on basic emissions monitoring. This module is critical for maintaining the 1996 Jeep Cherokee’s factory performance, particularly for owners restoring classic XJs.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
BUYER BEWARE! NOT ALL COMPUTER SELLERS ARE EQUAL.
We are the ONLY company that runs every computer through a computer aided vehicle simulator to test for quality and compatibility with your car & VIN.

OVER 150,000 Customers Served
Every unit is programmed & tested in our facility in Cary NC
CarComputerExchange fully rebuilds and tests ALL computers. We are the ONLY seller that runs each computer through a computer aided vehicle simulator that tests every circuit in the module. Other companies run limited tests.
Most companies run limited tests. Some online stores simply repaint old units and sell without testing. Don't fall for the CHEAPER option.

Our testing & rebuilding process starts with a deep visual evaluation of the circuit board and all the electronic components. From water or acid corrosion, to fire or burn damage, we pay attention to every detail. We also scan the ECU memory or CPU to make sure that it is working properly.

We then test the ECU's with our proprietary electronic lab equipment on our bench, which emulates the car's engine to ensure accuracy in every diagnosis.
