  1. I've stated twice what needs to be done about scanning for codes. You do NOT need to go to a dealer for this as the cost is prohibitive. I have a scanner that will do such and have available to ME even higher level scan tools thru a friend who runs an Independent repair shop. I normally do not recommend using DEALERS or FRANCHISE repair centers as they charge way too much.Find yourself a GOOD Independent shop from family, friends or coworkers. to have them scan for codes to determine what is going on. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT.
  2. YES, TC will cut throttle response and why TB light FLASHES and is not steady. As I posted a higher level scanner is needed to see codes resulting from TC coming on. BASIC scanners only do OBDII engine/ trans codes not supplemental system codes {ABS/traction/Stability/SRS}.
  3. 4 cylinder motor???? what level scanner do you use? You may need to go above basic OBDII reader and use one that can read CAN/BUS for body control/abs/srs codes. You may have something going on with wheel speed sensors or such that is triggering trac. control first, that will put engine into limp mode and turn on the throttle body warning light.
  4. You have been posting to an existing topic that is already in the "proper" forum section. Go back to the main section that this topic thread is on and read the ones that relate to your concern. You do NOT need to be 2015 year specific for this concern, the system is pretty much the same from 2016 and BACK.
  5. That CEL being on while running in your video MEANS SOMETHING, get the car scanned for trouble codes and post them for some meaningful help from members here. Also post engine size {2.4 or 3.6} and any maint. work recently done.
  6. So this Journey has over 100k miles on it already? Must drive it quite a bit, yes recheck/replace the plugs, but I still have a HUNCH that the crankshaft position sensor may be going out. As I stated before quite common to your symptoms. Has the CEL come on when driving it? Probably would not be a bad idea to have the computer scanned for trouble codes.
  7. I have 3 OLDER Journey's, all with the 3.6 so not sure just what "version" of the 2.4 is in such a newer 2019 you have. BUT the crankshaft position sensor has been a known weak link in starting/stalling problems with the older 2.4 motors. It will not always throw a code for this problem, many report this part failing and never throwing a code for it. More background info such as miles and normal maint. that has been done {sparkplugs / type of driving patterns} would be helpful for more suggestions. Good luck and let us know how things go that you do to take care of this problem.
  8. OK, I understand better what you're speaking of. Unfortunately none of the 3 Journey's I have came with NAV., I have wanted to upgrade our '13 rt to that with the proper radio module but cost of even a used unit is out of range for our budget. There are a number of postings all the same about NAV. map problems AND fixes to be found on the proper forum section, try looking for them. Since I don't have that option of NAV., I have no knowledge of getting/keeping that feature working to pass along to you. Also like stated before about the child booster seat, try google and youtube on the subject.
  9. "If equipped" ofen means it was special ordered install on build. I don't think any trim level of the Journey had them as a standard feature. But yes, what member 2late4you suggested the best route to go with your desire for one.
  10. Welcome to the forum and your purchase of a Journey. Sadly, I don't think the Journey was offered with such an option as the integrated child booster seat. I had an '04 Grand Caravan that had the feature....was wonderful with my young at the time daughter.
  11. Not sure of what you are saying IS in your Journey. I surmise you have the 8.4" screen "infotainment" display. IF when powered on and there is NO NAV. ICON PRESENT. then you do NOT have the radio module that has the Nav. capability. It is NOT a function of the screen and likewise for the audio. there is a radio module buried in the center of the dash. So in "layman's" terms, if you want nav., you need a different radio module. And YES this subject has been discussed many times on the forum.
  12. You DEFINITELY got that right....even for being on a Dodge JOURNEY forum! So how is the upgrade coming along on the CADDY?
  13. Most aftermarket complete struts are "one size fits all", the ride height difference is from the SPRING rating and not the strut. IF you just installed them, give it a couple weeks to "settle in" as the ride height will probably lower down some. The Traction control light and loss of cruise is from a damaged wheel speed sensor. Auto parts stores will pull codes for free{resist buying needed parts from them...unless price is good},to tell you what specific corner the problem is on.
  14. Welcome to the forum. Your question would be best answered if you could post if this Journey is indeed a European market vehicle or what was commonly called a "Gray market"import. The North american market Journey's do NOT require REAR fog lamps and are not wired for them. the N.A. market headlight switch for fog lights is for fronts only.
  15. Not to sound funny but, there were fabric floor mats in his and we took them out and hosed them off, wet vac'ed the drivers carpeting as best as possible and during good weather left windows down to "air out" and fry up. We must be less sensitive to the smell you are concerned about, as it has not been an issue for us
  16. For the benefit of you and others seeking advice/help in correcting a warning light{CEL/TCS/STAB. CONTROL/ etc.} it is necessary to post the actual codes and NOT description of code{s} IF they have them. Most major parts stores will check most system codes for free if a scanner is not available to the person involved with the vehicle. There ARE diagnostic steps for each and every code beyond just throwing in a replacement senor or part. For responders to be able to give good assistance , they need the actual code number so these steps can be suggested. Please also remember the vast majority of members here are vehicle owners and not automotive technicians, some of us do however have that type of background, So the better the background info posted of a problem will get better responses. Good luck and keep us "posted" on your "journey" in keeping your GF's Journey working properly for her!
  17. With the circuitry and many modules to control functions, you really need to have a good scanner that can also read body control module{not just basic OBD} functions and codes They used to be a bit expensive a few YEARS ago, but are now pretty reasonable in cost. Knowing what CODES are at issue is 90% of the battle. I've found that poor wire connections and poor grounds are the true culprit to many problems, BUT trouble codes being retrieved and diagnosed shorten the figuring out process dramatically. With what you have posted, any responses for "look at's" or fixes is just GUESSING, YES TCS warning MAY be a bad sensor but it could also be a hub bearing going bad as part of the wheel sensor components{tone ring} are part of the bearing assembly.
  18. I programmed both my '14 and '11 for new fobs AND activated remote start with the new RS capable fobs using alphaobd software program. I learned how by Google search that came up with a youtube video on a Ram pickup truck. Quite similar for your needs as this worked for my learning how and being successful. Details of your cars trim level and just what level fob you want to program to your car are lacking for better responses.
  19. Long overdue update Mid January, when we had some "warmer" weather, my son and I got together and retried activating the remote start function. We had to use the baseline program remote setting for his early 2011 Mainstreet, but it took and remote start now works. I have not tried any other items as I don't think the car is equipped with needed hardware for other features.It sure would be nice for some kind of user guide for how best to apply alphaobd functions to various years/models My son is ecstatically HAPPY to have remote start for his Journey, now all that's left to complete needs on it is to get the A/C working and figure out/fix why his drivers power seat stopped working. Of course weather and his work schedule will determine how soon that will happen !
  20. So you have a '14, BUT what size engine and how many miles on it? What maint. have you done since you've had it? LOTs of possible causes, try using google for more of a "layman's" explanation to the causes and fixes for the code.
  21. Sorry, I thought you were talking about those types that are always being advertised on the TV that coil themselves back up.
  22. A 2009 model would be the 3.5 motor if this is the V^. Also being that old, I would bet on needing a new radiator, even though you say you flushed it.
  23. My parents use those type hoses due to their convenience of use. I have used them and am not impressed with flow rate to really blast due to small ID of the hose. Great to water the flowers and such or use to GENTLE RINSE a car, BUT I need to blast dirt out of the wheel wells and undersides of vehicles . I live in dairy farm country, tractors and farm equipment, along with tractor trailers of maure run the roads constantly and leave a BIG MESS on the roads. Heaven forbid you round a bend in the road and run right up to the back of such for all the "slurry" they fling off! Thanks for the recommendation just the same .
  24. Well... I'm getting older now, so had my winter work coat on and LONG trousers! At least NO gloves, hat and boots! What a chore though to get out the 100' water hose to reach the cars in the driveway and not sink into the ground by washing them in the yard closer to the water faucet! The ground is pretty "mushy" as it is. To be honest, I long to return to coastal North Carolina for the weather there! Been wanting that since 1983 ! This year has been an easy snow season here, but the winds and COLD temps have not changed any. I really miss the New Bern and MCAS Cherry Point area I served there for 4 years. Wife says NO due to hurricanes and venomous snakes that are prevalent in that area. BUT loves to vacation there {when we can get time and money}
  25. 2/21/24 Well we hit 45*f today, but going back into the freezer for the weekend...... Just got done with giving the '13 and '14 another quick rinse and wash on the wheels/arches and body. Gosh did they need it with all the mud and dust on the roads we travel the most. Have only had about 4" of snow in the last 3 weeks! Most of which fell last Saturday but wow the winds and C O L D ! we hit 7*f Monday morning! Cars are all doing fine yet.
