1991 Jeep Cherokee Service and Repair Manual
This is the factory service and repair manual for the 1991 Jeep Cherokee, matched to that exact model year. The Cherokee was offered with two engines — the 2.5L I4 and the 4.0L I6 — across five trims, and it is keyed to your specific engine and trim rather than a generic multi-year range.
Engines
- 2.5L I4 — 150 cu in, OHV
- 4.0L I6 — 242 cu in, OHV
Trims
- Base
- Briarwood
- Laredo
- Limited
- Sport
Known issues on the 1991 Cherokee. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, both involving exterior lighting: a headlight fault that can decrease lighting visibility and lead to a crash, and a separate exterior-lighting fault carrying the same reduced-visibility crash risk. Owners have filed 297 complaints and Jeep has issued 16 technical service bulletins for the year. When one of these turns up on your Cherokee, the factory diagnostic and repair procedure for that system is here to work through it.
From a routine service interval to a wiring fault behind the lighting circuit or a hard-to-trace driveability problem, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1991 Cherokee.
