Yes the module is located in the R Rear wheel arch, need to pull down the plastic liner for access. Our early '14 is coming on for R Front and then will return to normal operation intermittently. I think it is a poor plug in connection to the module. Plastic end may latch fine, but that does NOT mean good metal wire end contacts. Still waiting for steady WARM weather to bend the plastic wheel liner to get at it!

SORRY about that! BUT you do realize this was posted in DECEMBER of 2017 and this is now 2023, YOUTUBE videos do not stay available indefinitely on any forum. YOU may want to try and do a YOUTUBE site search and see if YOU can pull it up from YOUTUBE, the title posted here is all YOU should need to do a search on YOUTUBE. GOOD LUCK to you!

DITTO ! From a member a reasonable drive SOUTH of the USA Niagara Falls, NY {near Olean,NY}

OK so a 4 cylinder motor. BUT what is the problem you have? Overheating{loosing coolant} or not good interior heat?

Situation RESOLVED! Had to have more PATIENCE and learn how to navigate the pages and make the pop up keyboard appear to type in hood switch. A short 8 mile drive and shut off for 10 minutes and REMOTE START WORKS! !My friend has 3 vehicles lined up for me to do same upgrade for some of his customers already, he told them to "hang on" a bit until he knew for sure this{and ME} could make it happen! I had promised the wife that I would get remote start for this car for her back in JULY and before WINTER....I'm a bit LATE. but NOW it's there and working! By the end of the month she will have a different DJ with this convenience and more, my son will take over this '14 sxt and we will be selling his '11 mainstreet that is quite base.

Chugs and then sometimes dies when coming to a stop
5rebel9 replied to Nicolecolie's topic in Engine & Transmission
In the North American market there are only 2 sizes of engine. The L4 2.4 or the V6 3.6. Posting the engine size will also tell us here which transmission it will have for us here to offer more help. -
OK, so I bought the OBDlinkMX+, a new android based tablet and alfaobd program. All is connected and functioning. BUT I can't get the remote start to work with new R.start fob that paired up fine to ignition and door locks. Has a hood switch installed, but on the alfa program page could not find or type in hood switch as many youtube videos show. At the time of my giving up the horn would chirp after one lock press and two presses of the R.S. button. And yes I took it on a 20 mile round trip and waited for 30 minutes to try the remote start. ANY HELP from those that have done this successfully would be greatly appreciated. BTW this is being done on an early 2014 sxt trim

Dodge Journey runs perfect with ABS light on! Why?
5rebel9 replied to NetherMined's topic in Engine & Transmission
The 2.7 motor has an EGR Valve. This unit can bind open from carbon buildup and cause similar symptoms and MAY NOT show a code. Most "modern auto techs" have not had to deal with such things as for some time now EGR valves have been replaced by other functions like variable valve timing and higher levels of engine computerization. BUT the 2.7 IS a "throwback" to older engines. I would take a serious look into that area to try and help fix your situation. -
MANY possible causes. Start with cleaning the battery terminals and cable ends then apply dielectric grease to help keep oxidation from forming between the battery posts and cable ends. Just how old is the battery in youir journey? If at 4 years, I'd be thinking seriously about a NEW BATTERY. Also clean and lube the jump post connections on the TIPM and strut tower.

Since it started working {intermittently}, I'd try and have codes scanned again AND disconnect the module connector and apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the metal contact connection ends, PLASTIC connector may well be firmly in place, but that does NOT MEAN the individual wires are connecting well.Once scanned, please repost any ABS related codes.

YES all good things and how to check them in 2late4u's response. BUT also what I gleaned from the video was the possibility of a bad CV/axle joint or even the passenger side axle support bearing being worn out. IF you are not much of a DIY'er, then get it into a reputable shop and have the front suspension/drivetrain inspected PRONTO as this will not get better on it's own!

ALL 4 quit working for both? Well lets say ONE FOB works "sometimes. I don't have so new a year as an 2018, but I do know that if you have a Check Engine Light on when in use, the computer will NOT allow remote start to function till the fault is fixed. Is this the only fault with both cars? Does the FOB lock/unlock the doors of both cars? Your messaging is rather vague, we need specific as to which car and what is not working.

IF truly overheating {and resultant COOLANT LOSS} which you have not yet confirmed.... Air entrapment in the cooling system will cause "overheating" symptoms. It take time and bleeding out trapped air by slowly filling the system and letting air purge out. These motors do NOT take well to "fill and go" coolant fills. You have rear heat with coolant lines that go all the back to the RR corner and back, LOTS of room for air to get "stuck" in. As a CHEAP addition to what you have done, I'd suggest a new cap for the restank/fill point.

I will GUESS you are working with a 3.6 V6 motor? More background info like engine, rear heat system or not, mileage and what kind of weather conditions would be very helpful for more than just guesses in response. Throwing in parts gets very expensive, you may want to find a better shop for a more thorough diagnosis.

PCM.... Power control Module ... In simpler terms the engine computer. NOT a plug in and play part{needs to be programmed to the car to work} , Check wiring first.
-
I would ASSUME you are working with the 3.5 V? YES it could be electrical wiring between the control valves OR even possibly into the PCM itself. I doubt the missing bolts/bracket has anything to do with the situation, particularly if this has been a RECENT{and not an old ongoing} problem.

Since the harness wires from the handle do go back to the BCM, there is a remote possibility of a broken wire in the rubber boot at door to body. BUT since both have been posted of, the OP should be able to determine now as to where to look...IF the OP ever responds back. -
A rather tough problem being random multiple cylinder misfires. Sounds like you about did ALL you can do. BUT did you check the wire plugs and wiring to all those sensors you replaced? Also these motors are pretty particular for proper operation to O.E brand sensors and not cheap aftermarket one. TKN is an O.E. maker and found a good source parts brand. I would also clear any codes and try a short run/drive and see if anything more specific shows up. Good Luck and report back.

Keyless enter n go
5rebel9 replied to Fayçal's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Key Fobs, Locks & Remote Start
I replied to your original posting. There are 2 very small wires that are part of the exterior door handle. Dodge had a problem where those wires would break from movement stress, as they were too short on the 2011 models. Later year and replacements had slightly longer wires. My 2011 bought used had this same problem. Very pricey replacement door handle, so I took the handle out and fixed the wire, adding extra length wire. Have had the car 3+ years now and no more trouble from that situation. There are a number of Youtube videos on how to remove the exterior door handle. -

Greetings! Most likely cause is broken wire in the drivers door handle. There are a number of youtube videos on how to remove the outer door handle. It's a replace with new handle fix OR if you are handy with small wire soldering and repair you could fix the wire{s, there are 2} Had the same happen on our 2011 model DJ Good Luck and report back how it goes -
ATC auto temp control has more parts involved than just actuators like normal manual controls. This is why I suggested in the past thread to have a complete scan done relating to the HVAC system. BUT YES I agree that the heater core is a prime suspect in lack of passenger side heat. Both my current DJ's have manual dual front zone control, BUT soon I'll be getting another that does have the ATC system, I'll post here with what I find on "real world" operation, as being in the Buffalo/western NY area....we NEED to have GOOD HEAT!

Sorry for your misfortune! Don't you have glass coverage on your insurance? I'd let the "pro's" replace it, then if any troubles later it is on their "dime". YES odd the way that it blew out, but curved glass and part of structural integrity of the hatch.... can leave "weird" way in which pieces fall. GOOD LUCK in how you proceed!
