QuestionHi,
I'm from Romania and we have a problem with our Chrysler. the tester told us it's about P 1391 problem. our Chrysler has the following technical data:
Chrysler 300M, from 2000, V6 24 valves, 150KW.
WE CAN'T FIND THE SNESORS. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US EXPLAINING WHERE CAN WE FIND IT?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!
AnswerThis is the test I have for this code
Symptom:
P1391-INTERMITTENT LOSS OF CMP OR CKP
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P1391-INTERMITTENT LOSS OF CMP OR CKP
When Monitored: Engine running or cranking.
Set Condition: When the failure counter reaches 20 for 2 consecutive trips.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
DAMAGED TONE WHEEL/FLEX PLATE (CRANKSHAFT)
DAMAGED TONE WHEEL/PULSE RING (CAMSHAFT)
INTERMITTENT CMP SIGNAL LOSS WHEN WIRING IS WIGGLED
INTERMITTENT CKP SIGNAL LOSS WHEN WIRING IS WIGGLED
IRREGULAR LAB SCOPE PATTERN OF CKP SIGNAL
IRREGULAR LAB SCOPE PATTERN OF CMP SIGNAL
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
SENSOR CONNECTOR/WIRING
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 Turn ignition on.
With the DRB, read the DTC’s.
Is the Global Good Trip Counter displayed and equal to zero for P1391?
All
Yes ® Go To 2
No ® Go To 13
2 Turn ignition off.
With the DRB lab scope, backprobe the CMP signal circuit at the CMP sensor
connector using Miller special tool #6801.
Warning: Keep clear of the engine’s moving parts.
Start the engine.
Observe the CMP sensor voltage pattern on the lab scope screen.
Are there any signals missing?
All
Yes ® Go To 3
No ® Go To 6

Turn ignition off.
Visually inspect the related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent,
pushed out, or corroded terminals.
Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced,
pinched, or partially broken wires.
Note: Make sure the Camshaft Position Sensor and/or the Crankshaft
Position Sensor is tight.
Note: Refer to any technical service bulletins that may apply.
Were any problems found?
All
Yes ® Repair as necessary.
Perform the Powertrain Verification Test - Ver 5
No ® Go To 4
4 Turn ignition off.
Disconnect and remove the camshaft position sensor.
Inspect the tone wheel/pulse ring for looseness and/or physical damage.
Is the tone wheel/pulse ring free from defects?
All
Yes ® Go To 5
No ® Repair/replace tone wheel/pulse ring as necessary.
5 If there are no possible causes remaining, replace the Camshaft Position Sensor.
