Bro this video was awesome so crisp and clean and In good detail thank you sir! 👍👍
What problems does the car give when the oil pressure sensor fails
Do you mind if I ask?
How much do you charge for a job like this?
Great video.
What codes were in the memory ?
What problems were the customer complaining about ?
Were there any drivability issues ?
Why not replace the oil temp sensor while you're in there ?
Thanks Brian, the manufacturers make it more and more complicated for the DIYer to do such a job. It’s not difficult but just time consuming to do such a simple replacement. Appreciate your detailed camera work.
I just did this job on my daughter in law's 2014 Cherokee - twice. defective part leaked oil. Needed a do over next day. Thank you so very much for the extreme attention to detail in your video
Did you Teflon tape or anything? i really dont want to do this twice. Great video though
I fixed mine today both coolant and oil! This video helped me very much! Took me 5hrs total, I would like to Thank you sir! On a side note I’m a Woman and I did it!! Thank you again! (P0298) that was my code 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Three comments
1) Excellent video. Truly professional ! Thank you!!
2) What kind of auto company uses low reliability sensors and locates them where they cannot be serviced easily? One that I will never buy from...
3) The design engineers at Chrysler should be forced to do this job.
Thank you for showing me that I need to take it to the shop
Followed this step by step on my 2015 Grand Cherokee. Dont skimp out on the sensor socket and get one as well as that useful "folding" ratchet, its tight in there. My check engine light is now gone. Took us 5-6hrs but worth the time invested. Thank you for the video!!!
Do you remember what codes your car had ?
This is the perfect how-to video. Straight to the point, great editing. Thank you
Awesome DIY video. I took on this task after dealing with the 0520 code. I didn't want to deal with the shops on this as I had just paid for a new transmission and some other repairs on my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I watched your video multiple time until I had the general gist of it. The detail you provide is super helpful and I followed it to the T. I did run into a few snags along the way namely the 13mm driver side nuts (2) to loosen those bracket arms and some socket clearance on the sensor once I got to it. The 13mm wrenches I had were too short and too thick for the tight spaces so I went to HD and they had a set of skinny longer wrenches in standard and MM. I was able to make the turns, albeit slowly on the one closest to the engine back wall. That one is super tight but you just have to keep at it to get the bracket loose and after a bit you can start wiggling the top housing to get those side arm brackets to full loosen and slip past the bolts. But once I got those to clear then the two mounting bolts that go into the passenger side slots they needed a little wiggle to but you said to pull to the drive side and out they came. The clearance issue on the sensor once everything was off was a hose that made the socket hard to clear onto the nut of the sensor. I just took a flat metal pry tool and just coaxed the hose a little to soften it some and then I was able to get the socket to clear onto the shaft of the sensor and then used flex head socket tool to loosen and remove. I forgot to mention that my original sensor clip connector was facing downward when I got to it and I couldn't maneuver my finger under the sensor to push while I pulled the connection off. So, I got a hook pick like tool that I ultimately used to pick out my gaskets and I has an odd curve to which allowed me to get under the sensor where the push tab is to release then I took another tool in my other hand (pry like tool) and I was able to press the hook tool in the tab and then push with the other tool to push the damned connection harness off. Hallelujah! Then as mentioned, I had to deal with the tight clearance on getting the socket over the sensor. I did not remove the oil temperature sensor that sets above the pressure sensor. I thought I would need to when I ran into clearance issue with sensor socket. I bought the socket set you recommended. I didn't use the any of the other sockets. Just the one that fits the socket and uses the 3/8 connection. Tip for other DIYers, get various size adapter socket extensions in 1/4 and 3/8 sizes so you can get to the 8 mm bolts easier. Putting everything back together went smooth. Be sure that the housing bolts are cleared and stuck in the up position when repositioning the housing cover (forget name of it) so no bolts get hung up. Also, follow the 6 ft pounds torque. My new torque wrench somehow changed settings and I overtightened two of the top cover housing but the other 5 were fine once I realized my torque wrench settings got all goofed up. Oh well. 5 will hold it just fine. I started car and check engine light was still on but I will drive it shortly and see if error clears. I can clear it with diagnostic tool but my son recommended I see if the car will clear it naturally. We shall see what happens and I will report back. Thanks again for taking the time to help out all of us guys/gals that want to do the jobs ourselves. Many blessings to you all in the new year. Peace and I will report back about the check engine light going off or not. Lastly, this took me about 6 hours in total split between two days. I was exhausted after the first day which I got to the point where I was able to get the socket on the sensor but didn't remove it yet. I left that for the 2nd day as I was beat! Probably more psychological exhaustion than physical since I had never done anything like that to an engine before. Taken out a full dash to get to the heater core on my older Jeep Grand Cherokee but never took on an engine dismantle before. I was a bit nervous but confident too!
Excellent Video as others have said! The only suggestion I have is the upper intake manifold removal is probably the hardest part. The 7 bolts should be “captured” in the manifold to make removal easy. If you pull them up or push them from underneath and counter rotate a few turns they “lock” into the manifold and don’t fall down. If they fall down removal is impossible. I fought the rear most bolt, under the cowl for a long time, then propped up the front of the manifold with a 2x4 and reached under with a long screwdriver to push that bolt up, then she came out easily. I am just trying to help others, this video is excellent. I also went ahead and replaced the entire unit with an aftermarket all aluminum piece, then you don’t need the sensor wrench as the unit came with new sensors installed. At $150, which included all gaskets it’s a pretty good deal. As others have said I also replaced the spark plugs since there is 128k on the Jeep. Thanks Again!
I did this same replacement and while I had it apart I went ahead and did spark plugs at the same time since the upper intake plenum has to be removed and exposes the drivers side coils and plugs but great how to video!
Wish I found this before replacing my spark plugs. Dual purpose video here, great video to show how to remove that top intake. Hidden bolts and nuts all over.
Glad you like the video. Thank you for watching!
Awesome how-to guys. I'm going to attempt this with fingers crossed. I need to get to a bad camshaft sensor and oil pressure sensor. Great location for both jeep engineers. Two $30 parts and $700 in labor to replace em.
I know this is an old post but ... This video helped me GREATLY in replacing my oil pressure sensor. Thank you!
Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
Question? Were you getting a check engine light and oil pressure constantly at 100 psi ? Is this the reason you replaced the oil pressure sensor?
Really well done Brian! Doing this job on 2017 Ram 1500. Your attention to detail and clear audio and video is first rate.
Thank you!
Great video and easy step by step instructions. It took me all day but I got the job done. However, if you do it on your own, have the right tools and be sure to NOT over tighten the oil sensor. I over tightened mine and woke up to an oil puddle in my driveway. It is now into the dealership to replace the lower unit that I cracked!! Not good.
By far, the best instructional video I've found to compete thus job. Thanks yuou so much. I'm now a follower
Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for the follow and for watching!
I looked at several videos...WOW, surprising how many people that think they know what they're doing. You...absolutely have EXPERIENCE! Thank you! I know I can do this myself, but am still hesitant. Well done. Thank you!
Thank you! Well I hope the video helps you make the right decision.
Another great job! Thanks 😊 Brian. Easy to follow instructions. The manufacturer surly doesn't make it easy for repairs.
And engineers wonder why we want them to work on the cars that they design.
Right? Two feet of empty space in the front, but a quarter of the engine is pushed under the firewall. And A/C lines placed perfectly to be in the way
The company tries to tell engineers/designers how to design looking over your shoulder, also called micro management, if you want to bl amo
Blame the company bean counters.
No kidding friend, I needed to change my Coolant Temperature Sensor recently, (I have no way to raise my vehicle) it's located down below those a/c lines that he pointed out, it takes a hell of a lot of patience yo reach it just to unplug it, but after days of trying, and Finally getting the plug off.... Socket wouldn't fit over because a line is right over top of it (requires deep socket).
Had to cave in and get a shop to do it. But now I have an oil sensor code tripping 🙄
were always changing those oil coolers underneath the intake manifold. Theyre a nice job to get being theyre so easy
I don’t see very many Chrysler products in my area.
usually coolant will leak and fill up in the engine valley and will cover the trans in coolant. Its a huge mess also knock sensors get submerged.
GLC522 Good to know I’ll keep an eye out for that when they come in the shop. Thanks for watching and for the tip!
True professional cleaning off intake with air got my subscription 👊🏻👍🏻. I would have talked them into changing the oil cooler with filter housing having it that far apart 😁
Depending on mileage… spark plugs as well
@@hectorzamora7630 that too👍🏻
So lucky! That oil pressure socket went on like a charm, i had to play with it took me 1 hour! Probably only had like a milimeter of play and did exactly what you did (same tools)...and it was torqued on there like crazy had to use a pipe to break it loose...didnt seem like anyone touched it before...but man was that sensor a PITA to get off..
Excellente discription of changing oil pressure switch the correct procedure Thanks
I would never ever even try this 😮but I do like to watch you guys do it too much work
Great step by step instructions. I was finally able to finish replacing mine today. Started the Durango up, in idled a bit rough so I turned it off. Now my vehicle won't turn on. 😭
Thanks - this helped a ton. My sensor didn't come out as easy as yours.
What a truely professional video and mechanic! I really appreciate it!!!
Thanks for the 'rodent damage' comment. JKU 2017 with only about 12,000 miles gave a P0520 code.when you were checking for the 5volt reference I heard you mention possible rodent damage. I rushed out and there it was, a rat had chewed through some wires, one was cut. I spliced, soldered and fixed the cut wire and everything is working fine now. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Very thorough and well paced. U don't wanna spend all day on it kids
Brian, amazing video! I make videos myself so I greatly appreciated the additional time you put in for good filming, editing and voice over. All this on top of your obvious in depth knowledge and dedication for what you do. You make this look so easy I feel like I can accomplish this myself. Bravo!
Great vid man! Only thing I did different on my 2012 wrangler was disconnect fuel injector harness. I didnt have any play in harness with them connected.
Great video with a lot of work only to replace the OPS.
Highly advise when the intake is off, remove all the studs and replace them with straight studs or grind away the washer part of the stud so itll be easier next time it needs to be removed.
Your instructions were great, but I NEVER want to do this job again. Just loosening that bracket nut near the back of the engine drained my life force.
😂 I found this video after think I got ripped off by the mechanic. But After watching this video, I should’ve left a tip. Worth the $100
@@jeremy4600 you paid a 100? What lol labor is 5 hours
Where's your mechanic? I recommend anyone drive up to 1000 miles to get that deal!
@@ihatethetvfor real!!!!!
I hear ya! I just replaced mine and 😡 what an absolute job filled with anxiety. Whoever the engineer was that put that sensor in that location should be fired lol.
Thank you for the tips and tricks this was helpful I replaced my gaskets oil cooler spark plugs and coil packs on my 2012 JGC
Thank you for bringing me to school on that truck! That will be very helpful when I go to do that pressure switch!! That's the best video I've seen yet!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!! Hope everything goes smoothly. Thank you for watching!
That is a lot of work for just reaching a sensor! If that old Vantage you have could talk, the stories it could tell!
Is FCA serious?? For an oil pressure switch really
Yep They buried it down in there.
Yup, I have a paper to write. Anytime it's time consuming I just say f it and hand it my local garage.
F’ing stupid!! Damn batt under the driver seat.... for what? Nor pull apart engine to get to switch that 1 minute to swap? Never buying another pod Jeep. Good video though..
I had to save this video.
Even though I have a 3.2, I can see similarities...
Thanks for the video.
2:01 interesting that they made the studs to where u have to remove the brackets instead of making the studs removable to make removal easier. I ended up cutting the studs to make things faster and ill be sure to put new studs that could be removed without having to losen the brackets at all.
Thank you for this video you give a lot of detail which is good to know great video keep making more videos thank you very helpful
Thank you for making the video, insane design....
Thank you for watching!
Kia Sedona 3.5 is in same place, I thought oil leak was from rear main seal until I did some searches, thank God for ! you tube and the unselfish people who take their time to post videos !
Hi, first of all thanks for the video, it helped a lot!
I've already changed the oil filter housing, the oil pressure sensor and the oil pump as the solenoid, and still showing P06DD in scan, oil pressure 0, oil sensor voltage 0.27v ...the engine sounds great, dont know what more to do, need some help! Wondering if the new sensor is bad...Its a 3.6 wrangler 2013, São Paulo Brazil, thanks!!
Hello Philippe. Did you figure out? Thanks G
Excellent video. Very good clear pictures and the instructions were very clear. Thank you.
Thank you!
Gone are the days it’s right next to the oil filter like the old straight 6s huh? Where we had to worry about breaking it off when replacing the filter….WTF?!. I don’t feel like doing this if it’s indeed the reason for the P0520 code. I can’t believe the put it there. Stupid engineers (I can say that bc I am one? Lol.
One of the best videos I have seen out there for a repair job though! Thank you!
Good video . I think THOSE engineers should be strung up by their 10mm nuts !!
I put off this repair for years because of how difficult it was. I'm glad I did, I just did it yesterday and it was a b-word.
Thank you for this video posting.. very through.. especially your added tips and torque specs with tightening patterns!!
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for posting this video. This was a huge help!!
Thank you for being so in depth did my jeep today 👍
Thanks for taking the time to make this video It was instrumental in the replacement of the oil cooler in a 2015 jeep cherokee.
Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
Awesome instruction. Thank you very much sir.
How long exactly does it take to replace? Hrs? ThAnk you
Literally forgot to change spark plugs. Any issues with the overhead coil packs on this model? That back 10 mil did my head in. Appreciate the tip for that. Had to google to check and led me to your video.
Ridiculous amount of work just to get to the sensor.
Good ol jeep
There's a coolant line right below the oil pressure switch. I'm having a hard time getting the socket onto the switch because the line is in the way, but it looks like a complete pain in the ass to remove the coolant line below it. Any tips?
Having the same issue right now. What did you do?
How is this motor, regarding bleeding air from the cooling system (after repairs)? Is it stubborn, or typical? I see a air bleed screw on the tstat. My customer had a oil cooler replaced, and a little while later, blew the radiator. Apparently, dealer gave vehicle back, but temp needle ever since had a mind of its own (more than likely fighting a air bubble). Unfortunetely, looks like the head gaskets have now bought the farm. 😢
Hey - I was charged $1166 to replace rear rotors, brake pads, and to replace the oil pressure sensor because of a P0250. I was told it was because the whole thing needed to be taken apart to get to it before replacing it, then they put in some new parts also of the stuff they removed to get to it. Mostly labor costs - $300 alone for the oil pressure sensor. I can't help. but feel like I got ripped off, but I've seen others on here say it's buried also on a 2013 jeep grand cherokee overland summit. Now I'm getting a P0741 and I am wondering what's going on. I have all the symptoms of it - the bad gas mileage all of a sudden, the rpms higher at times, etc. Thoughts? I could really use some good advice.
$300 for the part is outrageous. I had it replace for $350 total at a dealership. 50 bucks for the sensor, 50 bucks for the gasket, rest was labor. Unfortunately, the vehicle reports a consistent 96PSI again.
@@capnobvious2718 mine was reading exactly 96 too but I changed it last night and it appears fixed now. What did you have to do for yours?
@capnobvious2718 hey, I'm going having the same issue with my Jeep. Did your psi ever go back down? If so, what made it start working again?
My 2014 Grand Cherokee was a little different and my pressure sensor was pointed down some and there was a raised casting on the block right where the sensor socket went so would not line up to get it on, ended up having to grind down the wrench end of the socket so I could slip it on and I think King Kong installed it because it was TIGHT! Did get it done though and thank you for the video, stupid design to place it there, engineers should have to replace parts after the whole car is assembled to see what it’s like.
Thanks for this excellent video. I need to replace the sensor on my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. You've probably saved me hundreds of dollars . . . . unless I screw something up really bad. :-). is it necessary to have that special socket to remove the sensor?
I've read people have but than you would need to remove the temp sensor and still was a PITA. Just done this to my 2012 GC,
I picked up the socket for 10-15 dollars and borrowed the flex rachet from a friend and went as smooth as it did in video. I
suggest not to attempt without the socket.
Thanks, 2015 Grand Cherokee!
What is the intake foam pad purpose?
Hello goodmorning , I know this video is old but great video ! Step by step. Took me all day but when I got it done , my engine started smoking when I turn it on after a minute and my throttle bottle was making a loud noise. Can anyone help me with this ? Thank you so much for this video
Also replaced my gaskets
Great video thank you
The sensor above the oil pressure switch. Is that the oil temp sensor? Mopar part #???
Thank you for your awesome video!
Very detail video!! Thanks
If the middle wire is reading 6.9 volts it means the clip is bad not the actual sensor, correct?
Bryan great video thanks for sharing brosky !!!!!!!
Do we have to change the intake manifold gaskets or can we use the used ones? I drive a grand cherokee 2018
Thanks for the video mate 👍
What happens if you dont get the .5 volts from the plug? I tested with it off and with ignition on and got the same reading 0. The parts store told me to replace the plug but doesn't sound like it should matter. Please help, I would like to do this just once.
Have the same question. Ground was good but no voltage on the other pin.
Great video, will be doing this in a few weeks. How many hours does this take? Lots of experience, just not on this engine.
Checking in for an update. How long did this take you? I'm debating doing this myself. Wondering if it's more difficult than what was shown in this video, and how long it takes someone like us who has never done it before.
@@Nickkkk838 Took about half a day. Could have shortened that time with 2 things. 1, the one sensor you have to remove to access the other, the fitting started spinning in the plastic housing. So I recommend taking the housing off and getting gasket kit for it. 2, forgot to rehook big vac line on back of engine.
@@Nickkkk838 Actually, they dont show removing top sensor. My oil sensor socket would not clear the other(top) sensor. So I was going to remove the top sensor. Didnt work.
Great video. Very easy to follow. New subscriber..
Please help did the job now engine sounds like gunfire around the upper intake
Sameeee did u figure out the problem
What was the first sign or symptom that led you to oil pressure switch, replacement ? Thinking that the part is bad...
My 3.6 litre engine said it was at 80 to 90 psi at 1000rpm
Damn! FCA has ruined this motor and it comes in the jeep wrangler too. Dude, you make great videos. I wish I would have watched this before I purchased my jeep... I think you need to teach auto mechanics to the FCA Engineers.
im working on a friends car, she has a 2012 Jeep GC but the engine was a 5.9 if i remember correctly, is it the same location or close?
will this cause oil to leak in the area of the oil cooler? having this issue unfortunately
great vid love your channel step by step keep them coming
Do you have a chart for the bolt tightening pattern for the manifold bolts ?
would this work on a Jeep JK 2013 with the same "engine"?
Yes it’s exact same process
Great video sir thank you
Thank you!
Those oil coolers are prone to leaking. Would be wise to replace entire cooler next go round
amazing vid!!!!
@@amcrae1 thank you!
@@HowtoAutomotive id be glad to send you $20 for the benefit i got from this...if there's a way to do it! Do you do Venmo?
Is it located in a different place especially, for the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L Hemi?
Hi, will this list be the same for a 2014, 3.6 dodge durango?
All of this for a oil pressure switch!??? Shidddd!!!!!!! FOR SALE!!!!
My 2013 jeep needs this and my dad wants to know how long it will take an average mechanic to get this done
I would say it would take the average person three or four hours to do this. Provided they don’t run into any problems such as broken bolts or anything.
@@HowtoAutomotive thanks so much!
Was a great help
Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
I can’t seem to get the manifold off 😢 I worked so hard and tried getting it off all night and couldn’t get off passanger side bracket on the throttle body , someone help
How much is this job all together ?
MUY BUENO ME SIRVIO PARA TRABAJAR MAS RAPIDO
Thank you😮
Thank you for watching !
Is my car at risk if I didn't replace OPS as soon as possible?
Ok, do not do this ,it's WRONG.take of the wipers&arms,remove plastic cowl,reach down behind motor ,pull off silver can&bracket,2 top bolts on transmission.u can now reach oil pressure switch.(U can't see it,without a mirror) but you can feel it .should take about 1 hour ,if u don't know what your doing,20 minutes if u did 1 before ,no BS, easy,easy...u can thank me later bro ........👍
Secret Lee I’ll give it a try.
Thanks bro 👍
Quick question, would this process you described work for a wranglers oil pressure sensor?
@@franciscoangeles3599 Did this process actually work?
@@HowtoAutomotive Any update on if this process works?
How much would this cost me if I took it to a shop
Tommy Tuton I just had mine done today. Parts and labor $400
you know where is locate a fuel cap pressure test in this engine ?
Well Done, Excellent "How-To" video!
Thank you! Did everything go smooth for you?
What's the trick to getting the socket on?? That is where in stuck... I have everything I can out of the way, it's killing me! I don't have the shoes socket, long one was the only one available to me...
I'm wondering the same thing. I have a new switch and a new socket, but the socket is too small. Did you have the switch with the male connector? I don't know if I have the right one for my '12 Grand Cherokee.
