Join me and one of my students at RTC as we troubleshoot an intermittent no start problem on a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The procedures shown in this video apply to all Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep electrical systems. In particular, the cam and crank sensor tests that we show.

Engine Performance Diagnostics chapter 21

symptoms

  • intermittent no start, no spark or injector pulse
  • check engine light on P0320, P1391 trouble codes
  • hesitation and surging

fix 50

  • replace faulty crank sensor

test shown

  • how to test for cam and crank signals on scan data
  • what scan data Ignition Cycles can be used for
  • how to test the cam and crank sensors with a scope
