2012 Jeep JK Wrangler Camshaft Position Sensor Replace

[@judgejury3230]

Looking at the Jeep. Bank 1 is passenger side. Bank 2 is the driver's side. For the cam shaft sensor.

[@holocene.]

Mine says bank 1 sensor 2. Are there two sensors on the bank 1 passenger side?

[@MrGucchino]

Thanks man. Made it a quick and painless experience

[@davidItheone]

Graham Ucchino what size was the hex?

[@ryanmckee8856]

thanks man I had my code reader tell me to change these couldn't find them for the life of me lol

[@pacificnorthwestdiggers4205]

Tell me how you remove the sensor on the drivers' side. Not much room to get fingers in there!!

[@jeseefcm]

Is the location sane for Grand Cherokee 3.6L as well , I think so . How many of those on each side ? Only 1? Where is the crank shaft position sensor located ?

[@catfishcrawfish]

Are the two sensors different part numbers??

[@MrFisheye333]

Great video , how do you know which one is bad ? My check engine light is saying the camshaft sensor is to blame .

[@Foilsurfboards]

I bought the OBD reader thing that plugs into the car on Amazon, saw it in another video. Here's the video on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIK1m6Kabp6SaNk So I could change my tire size for the computer. I had the light come on yesterday, plugged it in and opened the OBD Jscan app on my phone and ran the test. It told me "camshaft sensor intermitted and Bank 1 sensor 2. I just then looked up which it was, passenger side and changed it in under 30 minutes for under $30.

[@lawrencemaynard750]

Bank 1 is passenger side on LHD and bank 2 is driver's side on LHD. The code states which bank it is.

[@thedoorider]

hex head bolt?

[@davidblankenship7599]

Have you ever had any trouble with the pentastar engine?

[@Msleelee9487]

Still getting camshaft position sensor b codes don't know what else it could be. check engine light still comes on what the crap!

[@josepatino322]

MsLeelee94 did u ever get it fix I have the same problem

[@RodneyAdamsbigfoothunter]

I have found that sometimes the actual wire harness is the culprit. There is a huge thread about check engine light and traction control light coming on at the same time on the Jeep forums (just google it and you will find several people discussing it), which is how it acts when this part throws a code. Check the wiring harness right at the sensor and and also make sure that when they replaced these, they snapped it on properly. Some people have had to have a mechanic run new wires to these sensors from the computer. Hope this helps you!

[@judgejury3230]

It's can be the wiring harness is burnt in some places. Check that first

[@GingerKid3500]

Are both sensors the same part?

[@judgejury3230]

Yes

[@lawrencesanchez3432]

Are they both the same sensors?

[@ryanwagoner5049]

Yes sir

[@lawrencesanchez3432]

Thanks man

[@BrettMedema]

Are those crankshaft position sensors or a camshaft position sensor. I thought the Camshaft PS was underneath.

[@michaelhuber4116]

Other way around. Crankshaft is in bottom half of engine, camshafts are on each side of a V6 in top end.

[@judgejury3230]

That's the 2001 model that's under neath

[@mikehastings9215]

What are the symptoms of a bad CPS please?

[@lorikey6713]

OK a mechanic I am not. The hex head on top, after you unplug it do you unscrew the bolt to pull it out, or is it just there for some reason?

[@lawrencemaynard750]

Unscrew the bolt. It doesn't come out of the sensor though.

[@luismartinez-bp5dv]

My check engine light is on I scanner it said that sensor #1 I charge it and check engine light on

[@redneckindustries]

Good info, appreciate the effort. But why did you video it up and down, not the proper way????

[@JM-rp9qf]

Who gives a shit

[@crankinozzer]

I have the bank 1 sensor 1 going off on my 2013. That seems quite easy to change. Do you know which one is bank 1 sensor 1?

[@judgejury3230]

Bank 1 passenger side

[@lawrencemaynard750]

There is only one sensor per side on the pentastar. The code is generic and applies to engines that have both an intake and exhaust camshaft position sensor.

[@josepatino322]

I changed it bout 2 months ago and today it came on again

[@wackz]

Ever get this problem fixed?

[@elpepelucas]

What was the reason for replacing both sensors?

[@thiagocoelho4537]

Good question

[@anogi2507]

Doesn’t tell you which sensor is bad, you’d haft to do your own diagnosing

[@OldePhart]

WHY WHY WHY do so many people video vertical ?

[@josepatino322]

What do I do

[@ronplank7613]

Fixed my problem with the stalls and transmission rough shifting. Fixed in less than 5 minutes and only $17 spent.

[@kenniemunro7421]

how?

[@lloydharry]

thanks for making that

[@dakotacannon9266]

Thanks for showing me how to actually do it fool
