Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

1993, 1994, 1995 4.0L Jeep Grand Cherokee. The camshaft position sensor (located inside the ignition distributor) gets power from the powertrain control module (PCM) thru’ the WHT/BLK (white with black stripe) wire. This power is in the form of 8 Volts DC.

What are the pins on a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

1993, 1994, 1995 4.0L Grand Cherokee 60 Pin Connector Pin Wire Color Description 1 RED/WHT MAP Sensor Signal 2 TAN/BLK ECT Sensor 3 PNK/BLK RED Battery Power ( 1993 Only) Battery Power 4 BLK/LT BLU Sensor Ground

How many pins does a Jeep Grand Cherokee PCM have?

The PCM has a 60 pin connector and on the back side of the connector (wire side) are embossed a few numbers to further aid you in correctly identifying the pins (circuits). IMPORTANT: The illustration above and pin-out table below apply only to: 1993, 1994, 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4.0L engine.

Where is the fuel injection connector on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

1993, 1994, 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee 60 Pin Connector (4.0L) The fuel injection computer (known in tech speak as the PCM = Powertrain Control Module) is located on the firewall (passenger side) of your Jeep Grand Cherokee.

What kind of engine control does a Jeep Grand Cherokee have?

Thanks to your Grand Cherokee, you’re able to get off the beaten path while still traveling in comfort and style. You expect your vehicle to always perform at its best, so get a new Jeep Grand Cherokee engine control module to ensure that the information collected by your Jeep’s sensors is properly interpreted by your engine.

What kind of DC does the camshaft position sensor use?

This power is in the form of 8 Volts DC. The WHT/BLK wire also feeds the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) with 8 Volts DC. The BLK/LT BLU wire feeds Ground (from the PCM) to several sensors (including the camshaft position sensor).

Can a cam sensor be replaced on a V6?

On most engines, the Cam Position sensor is cheap and quick to replace. Don’t know if its harder on this V6. But if it was me, if it was a matter of $25 and an hour to replace the Cam sensor, I would do it and see if it fixes the problem.

What happens if the cam position sensor fails?

If the Cam position sensor fails, the PCM may guess which phase the crank is in. If it guesses right, then the engine runs like normal. If it guesses wrong, then fuel injectors and spark trigger 180° out of phase.

Where do you put the compression tester in a jeep?

Put your finger into #1 cylinder or use a compression tester with a removable head (so all you have is the hose threaded into the #1 spark plug hole). Turn the engine over using a socket on the crank or alternator if the alternator is easier to reach.

This power is in the form of 8 Volts DC. The WHT/BLK wire also feeds the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) with 8 Volts DC. The BLK/LT BLU wire feeds Ground (from the PCM) to several sensors (including the camshaft position sensor).

What does the crank sensor on a jeep do?

Circuit Descriptions Of The Crank Sensor. The crankshaft position sensor, on your 4.0L Jeep equipped SUV, is a Hall-Effect three wire crankshaft position sensor. What this means: it produces an On/Off DC voltage signal that can be easily measured with a multimeter, an oscilloscope, and even an LED light.

Is there a resistance test for a crank sensor?

In case you’re needing a resistance test of the crank sensor, I hate to tell you that one does not exist. The crank sensor on your Jeep is a Hall Effect type sensor and it can not be tested by a simple resistance test.
