Oh and I forgot to ask, when removing the rear facia can I reuse all the platic rivets or are they a one use only type of arrangement??

Many thanks

Andy

 

Well my rear sensors arrived today but when I phoned Jeep to ask which 2 were defective (as per Mondays Diagnostics of them) they said they are actually front sensors not rear sensors so I have 2 rear sensors which I don't need

They have quoted me £306 (approx $490) to fit 2 new front sensors which includes painting them black to match the bodywork which seems an awful lot seeing as the rear sensors cost £26 each).

Anyway, does anyone have a part number for a new front Park sensor, its for a 2006 Grand Cherokee 3.0CRD. In fact is there anywebsite we can use to get Jeep part numbers??

Many thanks in advance.

regards

06 WK has front parking sensors?

 

Yes there are 6 on the front and 4 on the back. Its a Ltd Edition Grand Cherokee. I'm certain all UK spec models have them as standard

 

hm, US spec WKs never had front parking sensors.. I do see them in the 06 WH parts catalog.. looks like 5HX08SZ0AB , which is the same part number as the rear sensors according to the catalog I have..

 

I've just been looking at all the online mauals for the 2006-2008 WK and as you say they only show the rear sensors (4 off). The rear ones are chrome (part No. 5HX08SZ0AB as you say) however the front ones need to be painted to match your car colour but seem to come as standard in black which will be near enough for me as my car is black. I'll try and take off one of the front side ones tomorrow if its stopped snowing and see if I can get a number as the Jeep main agent is criminally expensive

Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.

Andy:thumbsup:

 

Don't know if you got kids and like that alert stuff but if it were me , while i had it at the dealer with the start scan pluged in , i would have just told them to delete the system and be done with it .

 

Here's what I have; it shows the front and rear sensors to be the same part number, and only shows one part number for WH's ..

The US WK has two different rear park sensors listed, I suspect one is painted (5HX08SZ7AB) and the other (with the same part number as the WH) is chrome. But I don't really have any way to tell.

 

Thats interesting as it only shows 8 sensors (4 front and 4 rear). The UK model has 6 at the front and 4 at the rear. I may do something radical if they are a pain to remove and phone Jeep for a part number:laugh:

Thanks again,

Andy:thumbsup:

 

I believe the 5HX08SZ7AB ends up superceding to the 5HX08TZZAA. That is PRIMED - NO COLOR. At least in the States.

 

if equipped-

The sensors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 are located in the front bumper: Sensor #1 Left side of front bumper Sensor #2 Left middle side of front bumper Sensor #3 Left center of front bumper Sensor #4 Right center of front bumper Sensor #5 Right middle side of front bumper Sensor #6 Right side of the bumper The sensors 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are located in the rear bumper: For sensors 7,8,9,and 10: Sensor #7 Right Side of Rear Bumper Sensor #8 Right Middle of Rear Bumper Sensor #9 Left Middle of Rear Bumper Sensor #10 Left Side of Rear Bumper For Sensors 8,9,10, and 11: Sensor #8 Right Side of Rear Bumper Sensor #9 Right Middle of Rear Bumper Sensor #10 Left Middle of Rear Bumper Sensor #11 Left Side of Rear Bumper

 

How can you tell which ones are bad without going to the dealer?

Wave a stick in front of them?

 

I don't think you can as a regular OBD2 scanner doesn't check these (well mine doesn't anyway)..

 

How is the dealer mech checking them?

I have that "service parking assitance" message going on meaning 1 or more sensors are gone. When I look in the service manual it only shows how to replace them, it doesn't show how to test which one is bad.

How do i find out which ones are bad?

 

The mechanic connects his Jeep scanner to the electronics and it tell him exactly which sensor is defective (in my case I had 2 defective sensors).

I'm sure a really expensive diagnostic tool will also check them but it seems the 'home use' diagnostic tool only reads fault codes and not specific sensors e.g. absds sensors and parking sensors.

 

Hi there. First post on here. I spotted your post on parking sensors. There is a really easy way to check which one(s) has/have gone wrong. I did exactly this on my Grand Cherokee 2006 CRD today. Turn on the engine and select reverse. Put the handbrake on nice and tight !! (V Important). Then leaving it in reverse, switch off the engine and turn ignition on so all electrics are working (so you can hear better with engine off). Get something like a pencil (but no sharp ends - cut the end off if need be as you don't want to perforate an ear drum !). Place one end of the pencil onto each of the parking sensors and your ear to the other end. If the parking sensor is good, you will hear a rapid ticking noise. If the sensor is bad then you will hear silence. This is simple and works very well. I don't know if it works with other vehicles but it works fine on Jeeps. You need quiet to hear it, but you will soon catch on.



Mine was a faulty one on the front bumper. Replacing it should have been a 30 min job but the fact that I had collided with a goose made it a but more tricky as some plastic had cracked so a spot or two of glue required. Hope this helps

 

Hello,
My first question will be here. I also get "service park assist system" message and am sick and tired of that.
At the time I bought my 2006 GC, 3.0 CRD; they all were working but, something happened later. The service told me that #8 at the rear bumper was faulty. I removed the plastic part of the rear bumper to check and replaced the #8 with a three-pin sensor (which was coming from a Peugeot 308). But nothing was changed.
So, where is the control module of the parking sensors located? I guess something happened because of some loose connection or corrosion.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

 

It's more likely you have damage somewhere else in the harness. The harness runs across the bumper and over to the driver side, where there is another larger connector. Inspect the loom and large connector for damage. You can also test the wires between the large connector and #8 connector for continuity and shorts to ground

 

Thank you very much for your interests.
I had 2006 chrysler Grand Voyager and was almost expert on that but, since I am new on Grand Cherokee, I guess I have miles to go...:smile2:
