Default TIPM driving me crazy

Hi guys,

have had an issue in my 2010 JK 3.8 where by the aircon doesn't blow cold, the indicators come on solid yellow when I press the break as well as some dash light errors. Pretty sure it is TIPM related so bought one for the same year from the wreckers. Put it in today and no power going anywhere! Decided it must have been DOA so put the old TIPM back in to at least have a working car but then the same things happens no power anywhere with the one that was just working! I did swap some relays around but I replaced these back correctly to original config im 99% sure.

Followed you tube video on how to replace the TIPM and I'm just not sure how this could happen, disconnecting the battery was the first thing I did to ensure I didn't short anything out. Now I have no working car for easter weekend

Any thoughts would be appreciated

No replies yet, so I will chime in with my brand of questionable advice so you have something, at least!

Just in case, here is a forum thread where the guy has similar issues:

http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...d.php?t=136773

And also to confirm you did this little dance as well:

Tools needed.
1) 13mm socket with a ratchet.
1) 10mm wrench.
1) Small tip flathead screwdriver.
1) Watch with a second hand or a stopwatch.
1) Extra pair of hands....Mine were connected to my friend and coworker Jacob.
#1. Remove the negative battery cable.
#2. Remove the cap of the tipm.
#3. Remove the lead to the tipm.(small nut )
#4. Remove tipm pop in clips on top that secure tipm to the jeep.
#5. Carefully unplug all of the connections on the bottom of the tipm.(These have gray rotating clips that attached to the plug).They are all color coded/idiot proof to reinstall. There is a small black release in the center push them in with the screw driver then rotate the gray clip downward to release.
#6. Remove the old tipm.
***It helps so much to have one person stand in front of the jeep holding and rotating the tipm and one on the passenger side removing and installing the plugs.***

To replace the tipm do this in reverse order.
VERY IMPORTANT!!!! STARTING INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!
Place your ignition key into the ignition.
Turn the key to the on position for 12 seconds.( I used a stop watch)
Then turn the key to the off position.
Then start your jeep as normal and check all of your functions to ensure normal operation.



And this:

Try the battery wire at the TIPM lug. Disconnect the battery negative terminal. Remove the wire from the TIPM lug. Clean it with a wire brush. Hook it back up and reconnect the battery negative terminal. See if that makes a difference.
If it doesn't, disconnect the battery negative terminal, and raise the TIPM out of its cradle. Disconnect and reconnect each plug. If there is a contact problem, this will usually establish a new connection.


If your original doesn't work at all, no power anywhere then it could be a missed connection somewhere. Electric gremlins in my JK make me dream of my TJ days and wish for simpler CJ days.

Without testing everything and "just sayin'" when something like this happens it is either a blown fuse or a missed connection somewhere. I haven't done the switch myself but I am pretty sure VIN is involved as well with getting a matching replacement?

I did find this buried in teh Google:

CAUTION: The original Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must be installed and functioning properly prior to powering up the new Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM receives vehicle configuration data from the CCN and Vehicle Identification Number information from the PCM. If configuration information becomes lost or corrupted, the data can be obtained from DealerCONNECT

thanks for the reply I noted a couple of fuses missing but they were for things I didn't have (like swaybar disconnects). Placed some fuses in and reconnected everything and it worked! I still have some weird TIPM issues though I'll have to post later

Hey now, take what you can get while you can! You have a Jeep that worked better than it did a few days ago. Good luck!
