2006 jeep commander limited 5.7 hemi
THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you so very much for this thread.
Today my engine light came on with a noticiable relay. On my way up a hill it quickly proceeded to flash, and then the traction control light (slippery road light) came on. With a deep sigh, I thankfully made it back home, and from research over the web, I found a video of how to self check diagnostics by quickly turning the key 3 x's to "on."
Lo and behold it stated the code P0335, which I looked up and found it to be the crankshaft position sensor. I called the 2 Jeep dealerships here in KC and to order the part was $50-$57, and to have them install it would cost an extra $61-$110.
I called the auto parts store, purchased it for $23, and installed it myself. I have never worked on my own car before and this was super rewarding. I did find that oil had spilled onto the sensor and when I removed it, it was saturated on the inside. Coincidentally, issues started arising a month ago after routine maintenance, which included an oil change. Truly I would have paid them the 23 bucks to have as much fun as I did today...minus the moments of trying to stay calm on my drive home with my 3 young barefoot babes inquistively asking about the flashing lights on the dash and hollering for H2O, which I did not have...in 100 degree weather. Woohoo! Exciting day

Thanks again for the helpful advice!!!
