well, there's something that measures the inertia of the vehicle, and shuts off the vehicle when it's in an accident. I don't know if it's called an inertia switch, an inertia monitor, or what it's called, I'm wondering how it's reset. Is it reset by turning off the ignition switch, or is there some mechanical reset for it? I was also wondering if a 97 Wrangler had a similar fuel shut off after an accident, and, if so, how it would be reset.
It run off the SRS sensors since your airbags are inertia deployed also,so not just any accident will kill it,the airbags need to pop.The newer Jeeps also have a valve in the gas tank that cuts fuel flow if you roll over.
Your '97 TJ would not have anything like that in it.
