2007-2017 Patriot: Throttle Body Repair

[@rolliecrooks]

This is a bestifully demonstrated video. As a KZbin mechanic apprentice of 4 years, this is one of the most helpful clear cut and illustrated video. 0 b.s straight to the point. You should be the fucking template to all other dyi videos.

[@1967davethewave]

Thank you for a video that was straight and to the point. I am a professional mechanic and don't need all the production with my vids. You gave enough instruction even a novice could do the repair but got right to so a seasoned pro isn't impatient.

[@sgtfluffy718]

Thanks for this video this is exactly what I need to do to my husband's car and I'm not a Certified mechanic but if it's something I can get to I'm 40 years old and I've been fixing my own cars since I was 20 years old

[@Fartbutt36]

Who asked?

[@TheRealCCSmith]

Comment for the algorithm 👍I wish you made a video for every auto repair that I need to do. Thanks for the help.

[@braddugan4626]

when you got to the purple wiring harness i had a bad feeling . but thanks to the video i knew exactly what i was dealing with ! no junkyard for me.i was lucky enough to find one on ebay .thanks mj !

[@QuikSnatch]

Saved me time, money, and a headache. Thanks!

[@appliedperformancestrategi1672]

I love that you fixed it in 4 minutes. It took me a bit longer. :)

[@GamingWithStoners]

The bolt that wasn’t there is a 14mm just as a FYI also car sometimes goes into “limp mode” when disconnecting the battery and to fix that just put the key it turn to “on” do not start the vehicle wait for dash light to disappear then slowly press gas all the way down and then take foot off of gas slowly and turn key to off. This will take it out of limp mode.

[@brianrunnells3289]

bro...thanks, had my jeep patriot hit limp mode. i reset it like you said and now its running smooth

[@YENKOGT]

God bless you pal

2014 jeep patriot, throttle body was replace four yrs ago, today mechanic replaced car won't start, never had that issue, I noticed he spliced the wire s to connect er, help, not sure what's going on, thanks for any feedback, Bill

[@tjohnson2635]

My car seems like it is on the way to this point, maybe I can get ahead if it. Thanks man!

[@mattjware]

Awesome video! Perfect shots and clear explanations.

[@reddog907]

Battery cover push clips on mine are thumb tabs , just twist and no need to pull out the clips , I wonder when Jeep went to clips .

[@randallatkins1124]

Beautifully done and demonstrated

[@TheRealNickZ]

Thank you, Im throwing parts at my jeep right now to fix this issue. It will go into limp mode at red lights, I turn the car off and on and it's fine till the next time I stop.

[@Dr.pikachuu]

What's limp mode

[@buddavis1989]

Great video not a lot of wasted time well described thanks brother!

[@ohger1]

That pigtail is actually a revision from Jeep. The new TBs use a single row connector so the pigtail is spliced in to make it work. The problem is that the new Jeep part isn't any better than the original, which is why this Jeep supplied TB in this video failed again.

[@Jahlen.johnson]

How can I avoid needing to change any wiring??

[@kg4muc]

I’m replacing mine with old stock so the original connector will work. Chrysler changed the vendor for these throttle bodies apparently. Don’t thing there was any changes for reliability but the cover is held on by clips which makes inspection easy if it’s ever needed I’ve seen gear sets for the old style but can’t locate them any longer. I’ve got a pile I’d like to refurbish lol

[@ohger1]

@@kg4muc The only TB I use in these Jeeps are aftermarket Hitachi. Any Stellantis supplied TB is garbage and Amazon Chinesium replacements are worse. I've never seen a Hitachi replacement fail.

[@Jahlen.johnson]

How can I avoid the trip to the junk yard and soldering??

[@frankiemaracle6596]

How did you do the relearn process for the TB 2017 jeep patriot high altitude edition? Please help on this process.

[@Gankedyou1]

exactly the info I was looking for. thanks.

[@marionadams4046]

On a 2013 Jeep Patriot sport new throttle body does it need to be programmed please?

[@StephenHendricks-u4y]

I Just tried switching out the throttle body and ran into the same exact problem. Can I just order a new adapter and pig tail it on? Please help 🙏

[@Largewithoutcharge]

Is there a trick to disconnecting the connector to the sensor on the throttle body I can't seem to figure it out I can't see very good I got big hands and I can't I don't want to break nothing

[@paintballalienindy09]

Make sure to do the relearn, my friend just brought hers back with same issue again

[@frankiemaracle6596]

Could you please help me with the relearn procedure 17 jeep patriot 2.4L

[@jamesbarnes9057]

I had my throttle body replaced on my 14 Jeep Patriot two years ago by the dealership. Recently went out again and I decided to replace it myself. Turns out they did the exact same thing with putting a different pigtail on to make the throttle body plug fit. Now I’m struggling to find a pigtail that fits the throttle body I already bought, which would be the original pigtail.

[@brianrunnells3289]

bro.... exact same thing here. that makes three of us. probably 100's more out there. so this is obviously a purposeful manufacturers fix. Maybe had wrong plug in's installed in a batch of replacement throttle bodies and changing to a single pin wiring harness was the cheapest fix? and now we are stuck having to change back to double row pins. Bro was your wiring purple as well? Oh and im about to start looking for the proper pig tail, did you have luck finding any?

[@jamesbarnes9057]

@@brianrunnells3289 yep they put the purple pigtail on. I went to the junk yard and cut the original out of a Jeep Patriot.

[@bullitsc]

Just replaced mine works great thanks for video

[@JohnWebb-f2l]

I put a new one on 3 months ago and the code came back how come??

[@SamwiseWeeks]

Is the throttle body connector for 2016 jeep patriot sport 2.0 3x3 or single row? Dont want to buy wrong one and can't get reliable info. Thank you!

[@josephekundayo6776]

I’m following your video right now, but taking out the intake to the air temp sensor was a hassle. It’s looking like something else is holding the intake down

[@pimpy_og9128]

Long shot on a response here. I bought a aftermarket throttle body from o rileys. I’ve having this wiring bs issue. If I go to a scrap yard and find the original throttle body it’s a simple plug and play at the point ? I haven’t tried to re wire to make the new one work. Original wire system to the throttle body

[@MasterJacks]

You might try googling "20XX Patriot throttle body pigtail" to see if you can find a harness/connector that will match your new throttle body. The junk yard idea would probably get you a direct fit, but who knows how long the used throttle body would last as they're prone to failure.

[@pimpy_og9128]

@@MasterJacks long as it goes another 60k I’ll find another lol. The one I got from o Riley’s looked like the same fitment. Plugged right in I’m stuck on what to do. It’s my lady’s car.

[@dbantha]

Replaced the throttle body but did not resolve the problem. Get error P0001, P2066, and U0401

[@ch-rv7gd]

Thanks for the informative video I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot do you think it's okay to get a new throttle body from AutoZone or O'Reilly Auto Parts and does the new throttle body have to have any kind of self test that I have to perform I've seen other videos that says that

[@MasterJacks]

@@ch-rv7gd I wouldn't hesitate to get an aftermarket throttle body from a local parts house. There's no programming, it should plug in and work. You may need to disconnect the battery, or clear some codes, but that should be it.

[@monstersquashracing]

Can a faulty electronic throttle body cause a crank but no start condition? Thanks

[@nirvana54961]

I know it's been a month ago. But my wife's 16 patriot. Is having throttle control issues that really started to ramp up with the colder winter Temps. So possibly but I'm just a. KZbin mechanic

[@clareknecht5916]

Where can I find the ground wire for the throttle body?

[@winning_iseverything8624]

Hi I been calling a lot of junkyards in nun of them have a 2014 keep patriot

[@marcusl594]

My situation is with a 2014 Jeep compass and the dealership provided the same six straight pin throttle body that you show in your video with all the purple wiring harnesses. Is there a chance the dealership gave me the wrong one? As it seems like in your video you are having to do the opposite of what I'm having to do (but now I'm wondering if the wrong situation that you described with all the purple wires is the situation that I'm about to have to do)...

[@AustralianFrog]

Is the throttle body always a little bit open? Like not fully closed?

[@MasterJacks]

When closed, there's somewhat of a calibrated leak that allows enough air through for the engine to idle

[@coreylipford8905]

Nice video thanks for sharing

[@AustralianFrog]

God I'm struggling to get my hands anywhere near that throttle body!

2015 jeep patriot will I be able to do this without removing the front? I see you didn’t remove the front end but that’s not my year. Can I do it like you did?? 😭

[@MasterJacks]

It's the same as this one, should be a pretty straightforward swap 👍

[@dahliadolores9903]

@@MasterJacks you’re the best in the whole world for answering me. My mechanic wouldn’t return my call until I said the front could stay Lol

[@sowens4465]

Did you have to reprogram the computer for the throttlebody after?

[@MasterJacks]

Not on this one

[@泉浩史-s4l]

Is this adapter 68018956AC?

[@randyoftheredwoods2205]

Mopar came out with a new throttle body for the Patriots. The purple wiring harness is part of the new (also correct) Moper kit 68420395AB. MasterJack reverted his repair to the old style throttle body 4891735AD. After market versions are available in both pin styles so you have to be careful.

[@CaleMessner]

why did they do this mate? i just got quoted $2100 from a jeep dealer in australia to replace mine and swap the pigtails, yet i have just gotten the old style of TB from ebay for $80, was it connector issue that causes failure or internal gears on the TB? are the ebay TBs okay? seems like it is made somewhat okay.. do you know if they were a warranty item/recall in the US?

[@ohger1]

@@CaleMessner It's not a connector issue. More than likely, Jeep changed OEMs, probably for an off-the-shelf item that would bolt in place. Instead of the OEM modifying the internal connector for Jeep which would be expensive, they just provide a cheap pigtail. I don't trust those Chinese ebay/amazon throttle bodies.

[@epiqk11]

Are the after market ones with the original connector better than the ones supplied by Chrysler?

[@epiqk11]

​@@ohger1I was wondering about something similar. All of the regular auto parts stores have the throttle body for around $275. The listings online are around $100 to $125. The one I'm looking at is from A1 auto parts. Should I trust these places or just pay more so I know what I'm getting?

[@ohger1]

@@epiqk11 The only TB I will use on this Jeep series is a Hitachi. I've had Jeep OEM TBs crap in a year, and the Chinese ones often don't work out of the box or fail in weeks. I think Rock Auto carries them. I've never changed a Hitachi TB twice. Worth the money and it uses the original style connector so no cut and splice.

[@sebastianbaki8715]

Great fucking video man, thanks a ton!

[@Jahlen.johnson]

Is the reason you had to go to the junk yard because someone changed the throttle body from orginal and you needed the orginal? I’m stressed about soldering and no one is answering my questions 😂

[@MasterJacks]

Yeah, this one was changed from the original. I hope you don't have to go to the junk yard too!
