  1. Connector, yes. Easy access - BMC to the right of the glove box.
  2. Circuit from front end module connector to BCM. BCM CONNECTOR
  3. 2016 DJ service CD The connector the circuit goes to, is the one at the end of the white line. Inline front end module connector.
  4. First read this post- https://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/18354-battery-saver-mode/ Start with your battery - Read this post below- https://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/18210-electrical-system-fyi-battery/ After the battery post instructions and results. Then test your alternator. My post's are as simplified as it gets. Simple process of elimination.
  5. Go read this post and the entire thread of replies - 2013 Dodge Journey SE with 2.4 head gasket replacement https://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/18759-2013-dodge-journey-se-with-24-head-gasket-replacement/

    Hello!

    Welcome aboard! On the radio touch screen. There is a settings button, where you can change different things on the DJ. EVIC screen located in the center of the instrument cluster. Use the keypad on the left side of the steering wheel. Arrow buttons and the back button. Explore what things you can display on the screen. Read my post below- https://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/18760-journey-maintenance-and-other-fun-facts/
  7. If you have this below- EVIC screen located in the center of the instrument cluster. Use the keypad on the left side of the steering wheel. Arrow buttons and the back button. Select coolant temperature. Report back what the temperature is.
  8. Thanks for posting this. I missed the part of do not use on aluminum. I'll leave this one for people willing to gamble on it. I aim to give good information, that people can use. Without causing any more issues.
  9. The 09-10 Journeys have electrical issues with the TIPM. Start reading here- https://circuitboardmedics.com/2009-2010-dodge-journey-tipm-repair-service/?srsltid=AfmBOorhlOGhfahdG-iW5w0_Imtyz0P4BDVijdUGLSYmnAaXM6SGYv3E
  10. Glad to hear everything is good with your Journey. Post back anytime. Check the coolant level at both places. When you check the coolant level cold, in the radiator. Check the 2 rubber seals on the cap it's self. If not intact. Replace it. The cap pressurizes your cooling system.
  11. Specifically , You need to check the coolant level cold and after being driven full hot. You need to learn how the coolant level changes. Then check it daily. While your checking your coolant. Check all your fluids and hoses. Know what is going on under your hood. Before you go driving. Go read this post below, I made regarding maintenance. It's up to you monitor this situation. The Journey's engines cannot take too many overheats. Before it's scrap.
  12. Post a picture of the bracket. It's going to be metric. Find somewhere that sells metric hardware bolts. Start at bolt size M8x1.25. Go to a larger or smaller sized bolt after trying the M8x1.25 bolt. Just thread it in easy to see if it is the right size.
  13. You are in luck. You can. You have to remove the engine air filter box and the intake tube from it to the engine. There is one speed sensor on top of the transmission. Hidden by the large bundle of wires. Next to where the transmission cooler lines go into the transmission. The other 2 sensors are on the backside of the transmission. Close together. You have to look over the transmission. Use a good light.
  14. What engine do you have?, 🤔🤔🤔
  15. 2016 DJ, Code definition 2.4L engine. P0302-CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE When Monitored and Set Conditions. When Monitored: This diagnostic runs continuously when the following conditions are met: • The engine is running. • The adaptive numerator has been successfully updated. Set Conditions: • The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the variation in crankshaft speed between each cylinder exceeds a calibrated value, based on engine rpm and load. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the variation in crankshaft speed between each cylinder exceeds a calibrated value, based on engine rpm and load Default Actions: • The MIL light will illuminate. POSSIBLE CAUSES FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM IGNITION COIL, WIRING, OR CONNECTORS ECT SENSOR, WIRING, OR CONNECTORS MAP SENSOR, WIRING, OR CONNECTORS 02 SENSOR, WIRING, OR CONNECTORS ENGINE MECHANICAL SYSTEM POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) 2. DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTION NOTE: Anything that affects the speed of the crankshaft can cause this DTC to set. NOTE: When a misfire is detected, the PCM will shut down the injector control circuit for the misfiring cylinder. NOTE: Misfire may occur and may not be caused by component failure. Any of the following conditions can cause a misfire: Worn serpentine belt. Misalignment or binding water pump, P/S pump or A/C compressor pulleys. Improper CKP, CMP, MAP, or TPS Sensor mounting. Poor connector/terminal to component connection for CKP sensor, CMP sensor, MAP sensor, TPS sensor, fuel injector, ignition coil, etc. Corroded PCM power or ground circuits. Vacuum leaks. Restriction in the air induction or exhaust system. Internal engine component malfunction. Moisture on ignition system components. Insufficient fuel. Low quality fuel. Manual transmission bog. Towing overload.

  17. 2016, 3.6L 135k When, I got my DJ. I knew it would have electrical issues. Because of the 4 gauge battery and electrical cables. The only other engine to chassis ground. Being the very small gauge wire on the passenger mount. With all it's electronic modules (12-14) it needs plenty of good grounds. Bad grounds cause all kinds of strange problems. I went with more grounds the merrier for my DJ. At a minimum if people would add a 2 gauge cable. Negative battery stud on strut tower to engine block stud. 4 gauge cable from the engine passenger mount to the strut tower studs. They would be good to go . Cost wise pretty cheap to do, for the added reliability. So, I posted these threads- https://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/18210-electrical-system-fyi-battery/ https://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/18374-electrical-system-fyi-ground-system/ https://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/18296-charging-system-101-with-diagrams/ I believe in building a good solid electrical foundation. Easiest upgrade to do yourself. Which, would eliminate some problems. Then narrow it down to troubleshooting the specific load ( module, light etc.) Connections and the very small wires throughout the vehicle . It's too easy to get focused on a part, and miss it being something simple. Causing the actual problem. Well, to be honest cut down on repeat forum posts! Dean
  18. Yes. Now is the perfect time to do it. The Dodge spec of 120k miles is just crazy. 60k miles is a safe bet. Too keep it running right and last as long as possible. People let it go too many miles or do not service it at all. It starts to to get expensive after that. Even, if there is any kind of warranty on it. Get it serviced.
  19. I found this on YouTube. Eric O., South Main Auto. Heater core flush using CLR on a Journey. https://youtu.be/LtnVyFNyU1w?si=uXpf8K_FffQeEqJ3
  20. Hi 5R9, Would you post a picture of your spliced connections on the heater core tubes?
