Hello, I have a 2014 dodge journey that was in an accident on the drivers side front end that has been repaired. This weekend I went out of town and my car started to stumble when starting out driving then it would stop. When I press on brakes or lower my speed the car would begin to stumble again causing a jerking motion. I was driving out of state and the car would not let me go above 60miles it was like the car was controlling my speed. I pressed the accelerator harder but it would not let me go past 60 miles. The car began to jerk and stable a lot around 40 mils and 20 miles. I was told that I need to replace the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft sensor. I have looked over the internet and on youtube to find nothing. Where is the camshaft position sensor location? Anyone have a video or diagram? How many camshaft sensors are there for the 2014 Dodge Journey? Where is the crankshaft position sensor ? Any videos or diagrams. Please someone help me. Long story short, new to forum . Bought dodge journey new in 2016. Has 48,000 currently. I got a recent CEL for crankshaft sensor. I been searching the forum looking for the location of the crankshaft sensor location. I been finding post on the other journey motors but none of the location on 2016 journey AWD . Any help would be appreciated! Dealerships want over 800 for the repair. Times are tough so I want to tackle this on my own. It's a 20$ part. Any help and details of location and what's all involved to get the job done or point me in right direction. Thanks again!

Not familiar with your year as for any major changes from the 2011 AWD we recently bought. I take it you have the 3.6 motor? I do know that part location did not change for any year of the 3.6, no matter what body(200/Avenger/Charger/some jeeps) they were installed in. So if you can find it on another platform 3.6 motor, the process would be the same. Edited October 19, 2020 by 5rebel9 Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
Thanks for the reply, I suppose I havent looked at other 3.6 vehicles. I didn't know if it was due to it being AWD if there is more to it. Is it hidden behind anything etc. Again thank for the help. I'll take any advice given. Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
not a real clear video but will give you some location info Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
he is hard to understand at least for this old counrty buy but this shows the engine needs to be re learned after replacing the new part as well Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
Yeah after my post, I looked for some you tubes on the subject and found the same and others...couldn't post back sooner due to HOME GAME(on TV) of my BUFFALO BILLS/ KC CHIEFS game. It's halftime now and was just checking back in here!!  Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
Thanks again for the vids, I also seen those videos. Wasnt to helpful, when I was underneath I couldnt even find the same heat shield. I wont be getting back underneath till later this week, Ialso notice I got more in the way its awd rt . So underneath looks differently from the others I have seen. Though thank again! Everyone been helpful Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
dealership parts counter should be able to point you in the right direction or the part stores where you do business as well...good luck P S being AWD shouldn't make much difference on this part location as the 3.6 engine is standard over almost all models it is used in Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
as before this guy is hard to understand, i am assuming you have the 3.6 engine ( you never stated what eng) and this video would make sense why the dealership wants so much for the repair, the other videos were on 2 .4 i would assume...local garage with a competent mechanic should also be able to fix it cheaper than the dealership,,,good luck on what ever you find out and do ...please report back on that as well Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
Yes it's the 3.6 I keep forgetting to add that part, my fault. I'll def keep it posted. As soon as I get to the car. "Still currently driving" probably shouldnt but only vehicle I have right now. Still starts and runs doesnt pick up to speed but does have crankshaft sensor as the cel. I'll do more hunting to see where its hidden . Maybe I just keep over looking it. Thanks again Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
We had a poster on here a few months ago with a awd 3.6 cps problem. He never really told us the final outcome. Ome of his last posts said he was told it is tucked in behind the RDU transfer case behind transmission. So drive shaft has to be dropped down and rdu unbolted and removed. So lots of labor to get at it, which sounds like what your dealer is quoting you. When they quoted repair wouldn’t they answer what the labor cost entailed ? If you find the answer please report back. Someone with a Mitchel Auto repair on line login would be able to look it up. Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
It was a quote over the phone, it was a service rep, not the actual tech. All he said was about 1 or 2 hours of labor and diagnostic fee, he said he cost more due to it being awd. Though its 6 am here in Wisconsin and I just crawled underneath and still couldnt find it for the life of me. Got few exhaust burns . Shouldnt waited till it was cooled down. Though i take another peek before i get sleep. 3rd shift schedule. I watched dozens of videos , so i dont know if I'm just blind or its hidden behind something , again any help is appreciated Share this postLink to postShare on other sites
Just giving everyone a follow up, ended up having the shop do the work. All in all everything did have to come apart. Drive shaft , power control unit. Catalytic converter, bunch of other things. It was hidden behind everything. For labor and sensor came out total of 630, though main issue was. A rodent of some sort. Ended up getting in there and chewed the wiring harness to the sensor. Which was as extra 60$ so came out to 680 with parts and labor. Which was still cheaper then dealer. Again thanks for everyone's help. Wish I could of knocked it out myself but definitely didnt have the time to do so.

Darned rodents!! Your's is not the first case I've heard of this happening to various vehicles, seems that the SOY based insulation required by Gov't is enticing these rodents to do their harm more frequently than in the past. Sorry to hear of your expense to fix the problem. But thanks for updating and closure to the problem! Share this postLink to postShare on other sitesWhere is my crankshaft position sensor located?The sensor is at either the front or the back of the crankshaft, so it's usually located either on the transmission bellhousing or behind the crankshaft pulley. There should be a small air gap, usually about a millimeter or two, between the sensor and the reluctor.
