ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The VM Motori 2.8L CRD diesel (ENR in the Cherokee KJ, ENS in the KK and Wrangler JK) uses the cam angle sensor for injection sequencing on the common-rail system. The sensor is mounted on the cylinder head and is exposed to heat cycling that degrades the internal magnet assembly over time - dropout is intermittent before the fault code sets permanently. On the Grand Cherokee WK2 and Chrysler 300C with the 3.0L V6 EXF/EXN, the same sensor also serves variable valve timing management, so a weak signal can produce hesitation before a hard fault appears. Direct connector fit, no wiring modification required.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

P0340 or P0341 fault codes (camshaft position sensor circuit)
Hard cold start on the Jeep Cherokee KJ/KK or Wrangler JK CRD
Intermittent stalling at operating temperature
Rough idle on the Grand Cherokee WK2 3.0L EXF under light throttle
Loss of power or limp mode on the Wrangler JK CRD
Engine management light with no other obvious driveability complaint

How do I test a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor?

Use an OBD2 scanner to check for fault codes P0335 to P0338 (crankshaft) or P0340 to P0349 (camshaft). You can also test the sensor with a multimeter - inductive sensors should show resistance between 200 and 1,000 ohms, while Hall effect sensors require a live voltage test with the engine cranking. Erratic or absent RPM signal on a live data scanner is a strong indicator of sensor failure.

Can a cam or crank sensor fault cause my vehicle to go into limp mode?

Yes. A faulty crankshaft position sensor in particular can cause the ECU to lose engine speed and position data entirely, which may trigger limp mode or prevent the engine from starting. A faulty camshaft sensor on variable valve timing engines can cause the VVT system to default to a fixed position, significantly reducing power and fuel economy.

Do cam and crank sensors need to be programmed after replacement?

In most cases no - aftermarket OEM replacement sensors are direct plug-in replacements that require no programming. However some vehicles, particularly late model European makes including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, may require a crankshaft adaptation reset using a dealer-level scan tool after replacement. Check your vehicle service information before replacing the sensor.

What are the symptoms of a faulty crankshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include intermittent stalling, engine not starting, rough idle, misfires, and a Check Engine light with codes P0335-P0338. In severe cases the engine will crank but not start as the ECU cannot determine crank position for ignition timing.

What are the symptoms of a faulty camshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include poor performance, misfires, difficulty starting, rough idle, and fault codes P0340-P0343. Variable valve timing systems (VVT) will also be affected, causing sluggish response and increased fuel consumption.

Can I drive with a bad crankshaft position sensor?

If the sensor has failed completely the engine will not start or will stall and not restart. If it is intermittently failing, driving is dangerous - the engine can cut out without warning. Replace it immediately.

Do I need to replace both the cam and crank sensor at the same time?

Not necessarily - replace whichever has failed based on fault codes and diagnosis. However, if your vehicle has high kilometres and one has failed, it is worth considering replacing both as they are similar in age and condition.
