Hello!
I'm swapping the 4.0L OHV engine in my 95 Explorer for a 4.0L OHV engine out of a 96 year model.
The engines appear identical except for the camshaft position sensor, the connector shapes on a few things like vaccum selenoid, coil pack, etc..
I want to use the wire harness that came with the 96 engine, as it is in better shape than the one in the 95.
Both wire harnesses have the same 60 pin PCM connectors.
There are a few slight differences in some of the other connectors.
Mainly the two connectors that route to the transmission.
One is grey & round with a second black square connector on the 95 harness, where both are square (black & grey) on the 96 harness.
I cannot find a 95/96 4.0L OHV PCM Pinout diagram to compare the two.
I plan on cutting the needed grey connector off my 95 harness and splicing it to the 96 harness...only there are two extra wires on the 96 harness' grey connector that are not on the 95.
I really don't want to take all the sensors off the old engine or buy new ones just to use the old harness.
My sensors & selenoids are fine on the 96 engine (I believe).
The newer 96 engine has a complete harness with matching sensors/selenoids and it would be great if I could keep it and use it with the 95 PCM.
I bought this 96 engine used and it did not come with a mathing PCM.
I believe I have OBD 1 & OBD2. I have the OBD 1 connector under the hood near the fuse box and I have the OBD2 connector under the steering wheel.
Can someone please tell me if the newer 96 wire harness will work with the 95 PCM or know the differences between the 95 & 96 PCM Pinout?
A 95 & 96 PCM Pinout diagram would be very helpful also.
Thanks in advance.
