2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Crank position sensor

INSPECTION
Inspect the following components:
²Sprockets for excessive tooth wear. Some tooth
markings are normal and not a cause for sprocket
replacement.
²Idler sprocket assembly bushing and shaft for
excessive wear.
²Idler sprocket assembly spline joint. The joint
should be tight with no backlash or axial movement.
²Chain guides and tensioner arms. Replace these
parts if grooving in plastic face is more than 1 mm
(0.039 in.) deep. If plastic face is severely grooved or
melted, the tensioner lube jet may be clogged. The
tensioner should be replaced.
²secondary chain tensioner piston and ratcheting
device. Inspect for evidence of heavy contact between
tensioner piston and tensioner arm. If this condition
exist the tensioner and tensioner arm should be
replaced.
²Primary chain tensioner plastic faces. Replace as
required (Fig. 127).
INSTALLATION
(1) Using a vise, lightly compress the secondary
chain tensioner piston until the piston step is flush
with the tensioner body. Using a pin or suitable tool,
release ratchet pawl by pulling pawl back against
spring force through access hole on side of tensioner.
While continuing to hold pawl back, Push ratchet
device to approximately 2 mm from the tensioner

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
VISUAL INSPECTION
A visual inspection for loose, disconnected or incor-
rectly routed wires, vacuum lines and hoses should
be made. This should be done before attempting to
diagnose or service the fuel injection system. A visual
check will help spot these faults and save unneces-
sary test and diagnostic time. A thorough visual
inspection will include the following checks:
(1) Verify three 32±way electrical connectors are
fully inserted into connector of Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) (Fig. 1).
(2) Inspect battery cable connections. Be sure they
are clean and tight.
(3) Inspect fuel pump relay and air conditioning
compressor clutch relay (if equipped). Inspect ASD
and oxygen sensor heater relay connections. Inspect
starter motor relay connections. Inspect relays for
signs of physical damage and corrosion. The relays
are located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
(Fig. 2). Refer to label on PDC cover for relay loca-
tion.
(4) Inspect ignition coil connections (Fig. 3)or (Fig.
4).
(5) Verify camshaft position sensor wire connector
is firmly connected (Fig. 5) or (Fig. 6).
(6) Verify crankshaft position sensor wire connec-
tor is firmly connected (Fig. 7) or (Fig. 8).

(8) Inspect system body grounds for loose or dirty
connections. Refer to Group 8, Wiring for ground
locations.
(9) Verify crankcase ventilation (CCV) operation.
Refer to Emission Control System for additional
information.
(10) Inspect all fuel line quick-connect fittings for
damage or leaks.
(11) Verify hose connections to all ports of vacuum
fittings on intake manifold, and for emission system
are tight and not leaking.
(12) Inspect accelerator cable, transmission throt-
tle cable (if equipped) and speed control cable connec-
tions (if equipped). Check their connections to
throttle body linkage for any binding or restrictions.
(13) Verify vacuum booster hose is firmly con-
nected to fitting on intake manifold. Also check con-
nection to brake vacuum booster.(14) Inspect air cleaner inlet and air cleaner ele-
ment for dirt or restrictions.
(15) Inspect radiator grille area, radiator fins and
air conditioning condenser for restrictions.
(16) 4.0L Engine: Verify MAP, Intake Manifold Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor, TPS and Idle Air Control
(IAC) motor connectors are firmly connected (Fig. 9).
Be sure throttle body mounting bolts (Fig. 9)are
tight.
(17) 4.7L Engine: Verify Intake Manifold Air Tem-
perature (IAT) sensor, TPS and Idle Air Control (IAC)
motor connectors are firmly connected (Fig. 10). Be
sure throttle body mounting bolts (Fig. 10)are tight.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - 4.0L
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is mounted
to the transmission bellhousing at the left/rear side
of the engine block (Fig. 17).
DESCRIPTION - 4.7L
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is mounted
into the engine block above the starter motor (Fig.
18).
OPERATION
OPERATION - 4.0L
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided
through the crankshaft position sensor. The sensor
generates pulses that are the input sent to the pow-
ertrain control module (PCM). The PCM interprets
the sensor input to determine the crankshaft posi-
tion. The PCM then uses this position, along withother inputs, to determine injector sequence and igni-
tion timing.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL (Continued)

The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an
internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel within a
certain distance from it.
On 4.0L 6-cylinder engines, the flywheel/drive
plate has 3 sets of four notches at its outer edge (Fig.
19).
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when
they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the input
to the PCM. For each engine revolution there are 3
sets of four pulses generated.
The trailing edge of the fourth notch, which causes
the pulse, is four degrees before top dead center
(TDC) of the corresponding piston.
The engine will not operate if the PCM does not
receive a crankshaft position sensor input.

Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided
through the crankshaft position sensor. The sensor
generates pulses that are the input sent to the pow-
ertrain control module (PCM). The PCM interprets
the sensor input to determine the crankshaft posi-
tion. The PCM then uses this position, along with
other inputs, to determine injector sequence and igni-
tion timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an
internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel within a
certain distance from it.On the 4.7L V±8 engine, a tonewheel is bolted to
the engine crankshaft (Fig. 20). This tonewheel has
sets of notches at its outer edge (Fig. 20).
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when
they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the input
to the PCM.
REMOVAL

router is attached to the sensor (Fig. 21).
(1) Disconnect sensor pigtail harness (3±way con-
nector) from main engine wiring harness.
(2) Remove sensor mounting bolt.
(3) Remove wire shield and sensor.
REMOVAL - 4.7L

of the engine block (Fig. 21). The sensoris adjust-
ableand is attached with one bolt. A wire shield/
router is attached to the sensor (Fig. 21).
New replacement sensors will be equipped with a
paper spacer glued to bottom of sensor. If installing
(returning) ausedsensor to vehicle, a new paper
spacer must be installed to bottom of sensor. This
spacer will be ground off the first time engine is
started. If spacer is not used, sensor will be broken
the first time engine is started.
(1) New Sensors: Be sure paper spacer is installed
to bottom of sensor. If not, obtain spacer
PN05252229.
(2) Used Sensors: Clean bottom of sensor and
install spacer PN05252229.
(3) Install sensor into transmission bellhousing
hole.
