This video helped a lot but left out a lot of information since 99% of people won't have their engines out of the car. To clarify, the oil *does not* need to be drained to complete this job. Here's what I did to replace the sensor on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee: * Park the car and let it fully cool down * Enable the parking brake * Loosen the lugnuts on the *front right* wheel (passenger side) * Get back in the car then turn the steering wheel all the way to the right to move the rotor and get more space * Jack the front right side of the car up as high as safely possible and secure the car in that position with jack stands * Remove the front right wheel and place it under the car * Once all that is done, you should have enough clearance to actually see and reach the oil pressure sensor from the wheel well * If you have smaller hands, you should be able to push the smaller side of the safety clip over to fully unlock the clip * Remove the clip * Using a deep 1 1/16 socket, attach it to the oil pressure sensor * Attach a socket extension into the deep socket (I used a 6" extension) * Using a *normal sized* socket wrench, attach it to the socket extension (a wrench that's too big *will not fit* since there isn't much space to begin with) * Loosen the sensor (oil may drip out) and fully remove it * Install the new sensor, tighten it, and make sure you can reach the safety clips and that they aren't backwards (the sensor rotates as you tighten it and the clips need to be accessible/visible) * Repeat the rest of this process backwards until the wheel is back on and the car is on the ground * Once complete, turn on the engine, clear the CEL, and start the car * And the code is gone! The job is a pain in the ass due to how little space you actually have, but that's the only major roadblock. If you can safely jack up your car, the whole job should take less than an hour. I don't know the exact torque specs since I couldn't fit a torque wrench in there anyway - I just tightened it as tight as possible without over tightening. Hope this helps!
This video helped tremendously. Thank you. It is accessible to get to with the motor in. I had my 2015 Jeep Cherokee jacked up about 5 inches and oil did come out after removal. Luckily, I had the replacement in my other hand. Hope this helps clear the code.
Thank you. Great video, showed me exactly what I needed to do. I was able to access it while the car is on ramps. I changed it, but the engine light is still on and the code doesn't clear.
SOCKET: Not just a 1-1/16 there's a special deep socket called an OIL PRESSURE CENSOR SOCKET which is a deep socket specifically made for that censor 1-1/16
I'm having a tough time to locate the transmission fluid on my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude. Can you pleassee do a video on that? :D Great video though, I cant believe how difficult they make things to get done on a car now a days, hahaha.
Took my 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude to the Jeep dealership for an oil leak today. They stated the leak is coming from the Oil Pressure Sender. I’m assuming a sender is the same thing as the switch?

* Get back in the car then turn the steering wheel all the way to the right to move the rotor and get more space
* Jack the front right side of the car up as high as safely possible and secure the car in that position with jack stands
* Remove the front right wheel and place it under the car
* Once all that is done, you should have enough clearance to actually see and reach the oil pressure sensor from the wheel well
* If you have smaller hands, you should be able to push the smaller side of the safety clip over to fully unlock the clip
* Remove the clip
* Using a deep 1 1/16 socket, attach it to the oil pressure sensor
* Attach a socket extension into the deep socket (I used a 6" extension)
* Using a *normal sized* socket wrench, attach it to the socket extension (a wrench that's too big *will not fit* since there isn't much space to begin with)
* Loosen the sensor (oil may drip out) and fully remove it
* Install the new sensor, tighten it, and make sure you can reach the safety clips and that they aren't backwards (the sensor rotates as you tighten it and the clips need to be accessible/visible)

So, no need to drain the oil first, is what I'm reading here?
@@XCdude72 No need. Some oil will leak out when the sensor is removed, but it's really not that much overall. A shop towel can easily absorb it all.
@@ShockwavesFTW thanks friend!
I gotta try this, seems much easier than loosening the belt!
Does that sensor mount flush or does it stand off a little?
Very very helpful!!! My sister owns one of these p.o.s lol so I'm going to be watching these videos until she gets rid of it
Removed the passenger side tire on my renegade 2016 and had a nice access to it

Thx y'all....doing one in morning ✌️✌️
Great video gentlemen! Just what I needed to see. Thank you
Do I need to drain the oil for it not to drip?
Does the oil need to be drained prior to removing the switch?
Thank you. Great video, showed me exactly what I needed to do. I was able to access it while the car is on ramps. I changed it, but the engine light is still on and the code doesn't clear.
I know it’s a year late but something like that one reset the CEL by itself. Just have someone clear it with a code scanner.
Disconnect and reconnect the battery
@@happyfeet305101 It took driving around for a little while, more than I'd expect but did eventually clear within a day or so
Is this the same method for jeep Cherokee 2014 V6?
Is this the same for UK renegades as i can not find it anywhere
Very good

What size socket is that pls

They wanted to charge me over $200 to replace it and if it is the same thing as a switch then is definitely a cheaper fix..
i want to see how you remove it when the engine inside the car
Did this clear the codes for you all?
Size socket it that
I need to start watching the entire video. I pulled the motor out just to replace the oil pressure sensor...silly me.
1 1/16 doesn’t fit
