I ran out of light so I was try again tomorrow. It was 13 F outside and laying on the driveway not fun. I have a 2009 charger 5.7. R/T. I was looking and some 5.7 crank sensor are on the passenger side. Help I am still thawing

You only need to remove the starter on the 5/7L engine if it has AWD. The 6.1L always requires starter removal. 5.7L Removal 5.7L Installation

Jul 15, 2014 (Edited) My check engine light came on today and I took it to a local auto parts dealer for a scan. They told me it's a bad crankshaft sensor. Does anyone have an idea where it's located and how difficult of a job it is to change ? V8 Hemi engine in R/T AWD

Wouldn't this be covered under warranty? Based on my search, it's on the passenger side of the block, just head of the tranny, behind the starter. It sounds like the starter has to be removed to replace the sensor. Hopefully, someone with first-hand knowledge will chime in. Joined Feb 19, 2012 · 22 Posts

Mine, on the 2013 is located just below the Throttle Body on the passenger side of the engine block. You should see a wiring harness connected to it almost identical to the IAT sensor that is on the CAI. Not sure how you get it out.

I was thinking camshaft position sensor. Usually throws a P0344 code. Just in case it is the camshaft and not the crankshaft (P0016) attached is the location of the camshaft sensor. From another forum: "The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) and Camshaft position sensor (CMP) work in harmony to control the spark/fuel delivery and timing. They
both consist of a reluctor, or tone, ring which passes over a magnetic sensor, which generates a voltage, indicating position." "The crankshaft sensor is part of the primary ignition system and functions as the "trigger". It detects the position of the crankshaft relays that information on to the PCM or the ignition module (depending on the vehicle) to control spark timing. The Camshaft position sensor detects the position of the camshafts and relays the information to the PCM. The PCM
uses the CMP signal to identify the beginning of the injector sequence. What ties these two shafts and their sensors together is the timing belt or chain. The cam and crank should be precisely timed together. If the PCM detects that the Crank and Cam signals are out of time by a specific number of degrees, this P0016 (http://www.obd-codes.com/p0016) code will set." 82.2 KB Views: 2,162

know why? Is it the camshaft position sensor? Or? Joined Feb 21, 2014 · 3,486 Posts
Plug a scanner into the car's OBD2 port and see if any codes are logged. Best to use a scanner that can read all codes rather than just Pxxxx powertrain codes. The codes are not always conclusive as to the problem but they are a good starting point. What are the symptoms of a failing crank sensor?5 Signs of a Failing Crank Sensor. Crank Sensor Problems Could Make it Hard to Start Car. One sign that your crankshaft sensor might be failing is if you find it hard to start your vehicle. ... . Engine Vibration Issues. ... . Fuel Economy Slippage. ... . Uneven Acceleration. ... . Check Engine Light On.. Where is my crankshaft position sensor located?The sensor is at either the front or the back of the crankshaft, so it's usually located either on the transmission bellhousing or behind the crankshaft pulley. There should be a small air gap, usually about a millimeter or two, between the sensor and the reluctor.
