hello to all.so my battery went dead after leaving the doors open to long while changing the stock speakers. I pulled the pos and neg cables and recharged the battery.now it starts with no problem,however there is no response when I push the gas pedal.the check engine light is on and there is also a wrench icon.I don't have a scanner so I can't pull the codes.any ideas would be greatly appreciatted.

 

Try turning your ignition on then with it on pull the ground cable off your battery for about a minute. After tightening your ground turn your ignition off then back on and start the truck. This will reset your PCM. Hope this helps!

 

I will give that a try. Thanks for the quick response!

 

Come fellas! No one else has ever had this issue? Should I go out and buy a lottery ticket? I have a guy here at church that is a service writer for the local Ford dealership, maybe he can shed some light...

 

Sounds like the TPS is having some issues. My truck did the same thing but it was after doing donuts. I had the Edge on my truck and was able to pull the code and it was TPS stuck wide open.

 

Is there a reason this scanner I just bought wont read my pcm? I plugged it into the Jeep and it works fine...WTF????

 

Is there a reason this code reader I just bought wont read the PCM? I plugged it into my Jeep and it read fine...Anyone?

 

In just bought an Actron code reader, it wont read my PCM, acts like I never plugged it in. I plugged it up to my Jeep and it reads with no problem...Any ideas????

 

how old is the jeep? obd1 obd2?

 

It's a 97 so I assume OBD II.
