Thanks man, I had to do this today. You made it super easy to find. I bought the sensor, jack and jack stands for probably 1/4 what the dealership would have charged me haha
I just replaced this on my 2012 Avenger. I never actually saw the hole the sensor went in, but was able to feel around enough to locate everything due to the great video. I wasn't able to remove the wiring harness with one hand from below, but I pushed it up through the engine compartment after removing it where I was able to use two hands from above. This video saved me a trip to a mechanic$$.
Thank you so much for this video!!! My 2012 Journey's engine just started shutting off yesterday while driving (scary as hell) and Auto Zone pulled this code for me. We're going to pick up the part and try this ourselves.
Thanks a million! I would have never found this without your video. This also works with the 2010 Dodge Avenger which is what I have and it has the same engine.
Yes, I suppose it can be reached from the top as well. I did not see a video on UA-cam for the location of the crank sensor for this vehicle so I just wanted to put this out there to hopefully help people. I just watched it again and realized I did not put where I bought it, how much it cost, and a good picture of what the sensor looks like. I bought my replacement at AutoZone for $12.99. The part was Duralast Crankshaft Position Sensor # SU8488 and it has a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Well, I would like to thank you for your comment and I’m glad you were able to change it out with no problems.
thanks for posting this video! I'm about to do this to my wife's journey. I'm assuming you cleared the code before or upon completion. Did the new sensor solve the problem?
Yes, changing the sensor solved the problem. I did not clear the code because after changing the sensor the check engine light no longer came on (so I test drove it after changing the sensor and it came on, but by the next day the light was off and has not come back on since). I hope this helps.
It is not normal for the sensor to go bad that soon after replacing it. It is possible that the sensor you purchased was defective. You should be able to take it back to where you purchased it and swap it out for a new one.
If you buy a MOPAR sensor from the dealership for $26 it will re-learn itself and last for years. If you buy from AutoZone or any aftermarket it will last from 3 months to one year. Bring the last six digits of your VIN number with you to the dealer because there are about five different crank sensors they offer for Journeys. This will guarantee it is the right one for your car.
Hi, im having the same issue, my Dodge Journey also has a "long crank" issue (the engine takes more crank over than ussual to start) from time to time, did yours had the same issue?
The Dodge Journey that I changed the crank sensor on did not take longer than normal to start. Do you have a check engine light on? If you do, go to AutoZone or any parts store that pulls diagnostic codes off your vehicle's computer and see what advice they might give you. You could have something other than a crank sensor issue. Like your starter, battery, alternator, or maybe just a tune-up. I hope this comment helps.
I was driving my Dodge Journey an it shut off on me an the engine keep turning over an over but won’t start an when we put the computer inside it had a crankshaft sensor light was showing it need to change we change like 6 time it won’t start
Might also bee P0335. Mine stalled in a down slope and had no steering right before a curve. Scary as hell. I can't believe the amount of problems I have with this sh!t bucket.

I'm glad my video was able to help you. That was the main reason I made it so it would help others.
Over a year of headaches and breaking down FIXED! Couldn’t have found it without you brother. Almost took it to the dealership $$

@Walter V. Yes, it did :) We changed it out and haven't had any problems since. Thank you again!

No problem. Glad it helped.
If I had a dollar every time he said “ummm” or “uhhh” I’d be set for life and my great grandchildren also.
Muchas gracias por compartir la información!
Good video. Ill be able to get mine done now. Thanks
P0335 is the code for this sensor!!
Did this couple months ago as well, but I was able to get to it from the top.

Alfred Hall just ran into same problem but the video shows going under car are you able to show video of how you got to this part.
Is there a ECU relearn procedure after installing the Crank sensor?
תודה על הסרטון
Helpful, thanks man

Alfred Hall Now, it is one year later, have you replaced it again?
Is this sensor located on the passenger or driver side ?
I know this was done years ago but does the 2.4l have 2 crankshaft position locations?
is it different for a 2013?
Can you tell me the part number on this I want to make sure I got the correct one.
I replaced like 3 months ago,and I am having the same problem again it is popossible that the sensor gets bad to soon?
It is not normal for the sensor to go bad that soon after replacing it. It is possible that the sensor you purchased was defective. You should be able to take it back to where you purchased it and swap it out for a new one.

Im sure you need to buy oem and not the Chinese crap

So it only has one? Where’s the other location?
only 1 Crankshaft senor BUT THERE IS 2 CAMSHAFT SENSORS if thats what your thinking
empiesa desde el principioguey
I was driving my Dodge Journey an it shut off on me an the engine keep turning over an over but won’t start an when we put the computer inside it had a crankshaft sensor light was showing it need to change we change like 6 time it won’t start
That's the same thing that's happening to my 2016 Journey.. what did you end up doing to fix this?
How many sensors are thier
for Crank just 1
same loaction for a 2010 journey?
It should be in the same location, as long as your engine is a 2.4L
basically X 5
Pretty sure the cause of the problem was them floormats.. lol
Wow spit it out
What code was it?
I believe it was engine code P0339.
Might also bee P0335. Mine stalled in a down slope and had no steering right before a curve. Scary as hell. I can't believe the amount of problems I have with this sh!t bucket.
He talks too much... Just show people where da part is
why are you talking so slow?
