ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES
SENSORS
Battery Temperature Sensor
1) Battery temperature sensor is snapped into battery tray,
below driver's side battery. Disconnect wiring harness at battery
temperature sensor.
2) Using ohmmeter, check resistance between electrical
terminals on battery temperature sensor. Resistance should be 9000-11,
000 ohms at 75-80
F (25-27 C). Replace battery temperature sensor if
resistance is not within specification.
3) If problem exists in battery temperature sensor or wiring
circuit, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored in Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). See SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - JEEP, TRUCKS & RWD VANS
article.
Crankshaft Position Sensor
If problem exists in crankshaft position sensor, a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) will be stored in Powertrain Control Module (PCM)\
.
See appropriate crankshaft position sensor test in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS -
JEEP, TRUCKS & RWD VANS article.
Fuel Heater Temperature Sensor
See FUEL DELIVERY under FUEL SYSTEM.
Intake Manifold Air Temperature Sensor
Intake manifold air temperature sensor is located on top of
intake manifold, behind intake manifold air heater. For testing, see
DTC P0113: INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR VOLTAGE HIGH test in SELF-
DIAGNOSTICS - JEEP, TRUCKS & RWD VANS article.
