Any advice on fixing my 2019 Journey?


Recommended Posts

Have a 2019 journey that the motor lost power while driving. Since then it won’t start at all. Replaced both cam sensor, crank sensor, had starter checked, battery checked.

the check engine light is on, etc light is on and the little red light flashes. No engine codes what so ever but does have passenger airbag code. Any ideas? Been checking wire connections and relays. Starter won’t engage now. Running out of ideas and I still owe 2 years of payments on this car

Such a newer vehicle, what kind of maint. had been done PRIOR to this event? Had you just gotten fuel and possibly water?

No crank and red dot flashing means anti theft system has activated. Try disconnecting power and ground from the TIPM and neg jumper post for 10 to 15 minutes, reresecure and give it a try.

you did not say, but is there sufficient oil and coolant levels?

probably got cleared out by work he had already done or his probable basic scanner and will need a high end scanner to get at codes under "history" or "permanent" codes.

I'm a CDJR tech, I agree with those saying get a scantool and pull the dtcs. Also, need more info.  From what you wrote, it sounds like it might be that little red dot, along with the no crank that leads me to believe that the vehicle theft security system is active and not letting the engine crank. Does your fob work? If there's an issue with the fob, there will be dtcs. Are you seeing a "key not detected" message on the dash? If your fob's battery has died, press the top of the fob against the start button, if the engine does crank and start, replace the fob battery. The fobs have an rfid chip in them that allows for that scenario, the start button can pickup the signal from the chip.
