The crankshaft position sensor on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with a 3.2L V6 engine is located on the side of the engine facing the firewall, approximately mid-point in the engine bay. Accessing it is difficult due to the tight space. Some users suggest it may be necessary to remove the transfer case to reach it. Others suggest trying to access it through the driver's side wheel well, near where the engine and transmission connect. Be aware that the sensor has a red clip that needs to be pulled back to unplug the wire connector, and it's held in place by a 10mm bolt.

I'm having the same problem it is located on the back of the motor on the bottom in a real real tight squeeze probably like an inch between the motor and the transmission did you ever figure out how to fix it

Hi,

Do you have a Grand Cherokee by any chance ? Cherokee engines are transverse, so transmission not at the back... This forum is Cherokee only.
