Cam Angle Sensor for Jeep Wrangler JK Cherokee KJ KK 2.8L ENR ENS CRD 5066856AA
OEM Spec Fit Replaces 5066856AA
BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* cam angle sensor for Jeep Wrangler JK 2.8L CRD and Cherokee KJ/KK 2.8L CRD diesel. 3-pin connector, direct plug-in replacement.
P0340 or P0341 on the Wrangler JK or Cherokee KJ/KK CRD points to this sensor. Hard cold starts and intermittent stalling on the ENR or ENS engine are the most common signs - the ENS in the JK Wrangler is particularly known for this at higher mileage. Same-day dispatch from Cranbourne VIC before 12pm.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR
The Jeep Wrangler JK and Cherokee KJ/KK use the VM Motori 2.8L CRD diesel - ENR in the KJ, ENS in the KK and JK. The cam angle sensor on the ENS engine is mounted on the cylinder head where sustained heat cycling degrades the internal magnet assembly over time. Dropout is typically intermittent first - hard starts that clear when the engine warms, or stalls that don't repeat for days - before the fault code sets permanently. Direct connector fit, no wiring modification. Verified fitment for ENR and ENS engine codes across all JK Wrangler and KJ/KK Cherokee variants.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE
- P0340 or P0341 fault codes (camshaft position sensor circuit)
- Wrangler JK or Cherokee KJ/KK CRD hard to start when cold
- Intermittent stalling that clears then returns
- Rough idle after the engine reaches operating temperature
- Loss of power or limp mode on the Wrangler JK 2.8L ENS
- Engine management light with no other obvious 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.
