  1. do what does the info system tell you what the engine coolant temperature is? should be around 195 -203 after fully warmed up, probally the state is sticking open i am surprised you dont have a engine light due to you saying it is around 70 according to your scanner,,,as i mentioned i would install a new thermostat
  2. so which eng? check the records on the maintenance that has been done on it? if 3.6 eng won't be long for the plugs and transmission service along with the coolant service as well and these services are not cheap, 2.4 eng plugs are very easy and cheap to change...journey probally won't ride as well but i have had a 2011 which i traded in on with 70 k for my 2014 crossroad 122 k on it now , both had the 3.6 eng i really love my journey
  3. i use this brand, i like them as they are like a carpet fiber and fit the journey front like a glove,,they also come in a plastic or rubber compound for you all that want a weather proof brand,,,,,,,,,also if you have to give them measurements then they are not a very good company........ 3D MAXpider L1DG01212209 Front Row Custom Fit Floor Mat for Select Dodge Journey Models - Classic Carpet (Black) Visit the 3D MAXpider Store 4.3 out of 5 stars 20 ratings $70.78
  4. were the battery post cleaned and tightened properly ? also check the ground in the upper part of the fender, clean it off good and make sure the other grounds on the car as well, ? reason i am saying this as all the symptoms point to a weak or bad battery or lack of a strong current as the electronics go crazy with a bad battery, hopefully some else will chime in with better advice.good luck
  5. i think you are confusing that engine with the 3.6 that does route coolant thur the oil cooler, that said his response to adding oil but that wasnt the problem then notices coolant tank empty then refills it then it is low again after driving and sees it leaking he needs to take it to a qualified garage for a diagnostic and repair
  6. just fixed my daughters patriot tonight the abs, 4 wheel drive,esp lights came on couple days ago she had a bad rubber boot on her LF cv axle rot away so she had it replaced just a couple of days ago, so she got had it scanned at auto zone and it came up as L F speed sensor just like i thought it would be,so I removed the tire and removed the bolt holding the sensor in and it was covered in thick road grease and grime ,cleaned it off put everything back together again, took it for a drive and everything is fine again
  7. What causes a P0303 code? Code P0303 Causes Cylinder 3 misfires can be caused by many reasons from a faulty ignition system, fuel system, or internal engine failure. The most common reason for this to happen is faulty or worn-out spark plug coil packs, especially if it's been a while since you had a tune-up.
  8. if you have a 3.6 it uses a 203 degree stat. normal temp should be between 195 to 210 IF your rad fan is working properly
  9. well i would assume changing the thermostat and flushing the system and using new coolant would be easier and cheaper than the heater core replacement but being a 2009 probally needs it all done
  10. proper coolant Temp is 197-203 degrees in the info system also eng coolant needle on the dash gage should be straight up and down in the middle between cold and hot
  11. just replaced my thermostat in my 2014 3.6 so easy to get to i have 122 k pn mine cost was less than $20,for the complete unit and just 2 bolts to undo and the use the bleed screw to get the air out
  12. the mast just screws in from the top side ,guess you tried to replace the whole thing. dont know why the journey wont start as there is no power going to the antenna,hopefully someone will post some help..how old is the battery in your journey?
  13. try disconnecting the negative battery cable at the top side post for a few minutes then reconnect, kind of like rebooting your computer,,,hope it helps
  14. as john said make sure you get the correct mopar antifreeze fluid as they will tell you at the part stores that what they sell is compatible with mopar and the bottles will say that it is compatible with all antifreeze no matter what color you have vs their green stuff,,,,,,, i am not a mechanic and cant say if thats true of=r not but why take a chance to save a few bucks
  15. mine finally quit working so i took it to the dealership since i have warranty and they had to replace the rear camera in the hatch
  16. P0203 Cylinder 3 Injector Circuit Malfunction - OBD-Codes.com https://www.obd-codes.com › ...
  17. dont waste your $$ and time topping it off unless the overflow tank is empty and in that case it probably means you have a leak somewhere,when you are driving down the road is the engine temp needle showing straight up and down in the middle between C and H,also go to the digital info gages and check your eng temp there it should read 199-203 changing out the thermostat is so easy on the 3.6 watch a few youtube videos...part is less than $20 in the U.S. 2 little bolts ( 10 mm and the bottom bolt is kind of hard to get to under the housing if you have big hands, use a open end wrench) and a gallon on antifreeze and about 25 minutes if you are slow and then BLEED the system takes about 10 minutes watching the journey heat up while running and oping the bleed screw every so often
  18. i have a rack on the back to carry the wifes 3 wheel scooter, and yes when i am not using it it folds up so it does block the cam quite a bit but you can still see around it and with it down you can still see pretty good using the back up cam, havent even desired to try to relocate it but it can be done but you would need to buy a new camera that you could mount higher up but that will entail doing quite a bit of work,probally be cheaper and easier to have another aftermarket back cam installed so it would be functional and also get the shop to guarantee its work as well...all this said i am pushing the max weight limit with just the wifes 3 wheel scooter if he has a good size electric chair he will be over the tongue weight by a good bit,also i have had some problems with the upper rear control arms/ trialing links as the are non-adj and was wearing my tires on the inside edge i went with some aftermarket ones that are adj so i can keep the alignment okay not sure if the extra weight is causing my problems but just thought id mention it
  19. actual part cost is less than $5. Orileys part store,,,, not sure how hard to replace on our journeys ,any one having a problem might want to try this first
  20. hmm kind of weird. my 2014 washer squirters work great with any kind or color fluid ive used but the pink rain x the most as wally mart always usually runs it on clearance after the winter time is over so i always buy it lots of it cheap
  21. poster never came back to report what fixed his problem so we dont know,,,blogs like this can help a lot of people but ONLY if after the problem gets fixed they report back.....i would replace the speed sensor that it is telling you to.. usually if its a speed sensor you get both the abs and tc light on ...good luck

    Heat

    if the water pump was going bad it would be OVERHEATING not showing 1/4 temp you need to find a QUALIFIED repair garage,sounds like this one doesn't have a clue on what they are doing except throwing parts at the wall
