This video shows you how to install a new crankshaft position sensor on your 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The crankshaft position sensor is an important component of any electronically controlled ignition system.

If the sensor in your vehicle is broken or malfunctioning, you may suffer poor performance, or get a check engine light.

The 4.0 has an access panel through the driver floor board. Still a pain but not as much as this method.

[@dgozacHM]

Is this for the 4.7 V8?

[@MAWA2024]

Why did you replace the starter also? Was it bad or should you replace it in this case because it's such a pain to get to?

[@hollyhebert5347]

Thank you. Gonna do it myself thanksto you. I will video and let you know how it went. Great video. Wish me luck

Do crankshaft position sensors have to be relearned by a shop doing it, or can it be relearned by way of regular driving?

[@TRQ]

+@terrellblue357 The crankshaft sensor should not need to be relearned depending on your vehicle information. You can find this information from your service manual.

My 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee CPS is not in this location. 11:00 O'Clock on bell housing.

[@jamesdewer]

a major pain in the D*** to get at, if saturated in oil it might not be sending the strongest signal. Same with the cam though a lesser extent.

[@Bhall958]

Ur forgetting the 1999 model year is actually a 1999.5 year model

[@maddawg4599]

This is NOT for the 4.0

[@kenbrilliant1639]

but you make it so easy. huh.

[@bradmadeira6807]

Good LORD, is there ANY reason except they want to charge you an arm and a leg to replace it, that they needed to put that crank sensor so deep into your motor?? Smh doesn’t make sense for something that is normally easy to replace in any other car
