    YIKES about the CHEVY, but glad you're OK! Yes it sounds like you have a LOT to get "caught up" on with the Journey! Don't put off the timing belt, may be a tough job but NEEDS to be done! Good luck!

    Sorry for asking a presuming question, the pic seemed a bit blurry to my ancient eyes is why I led off with a question. Dut I'm still pretty sure that that is the P/S cooler.

    Are you also loosing power steering fluid? That looks to me like the power steering oil cooler that I know later year Journey's have.
  4. 5rebel9
    YES it has to show programmed to the car's VIN

    I would do all 4 and my friend gives me a real good price parts/labor, BUT too broke to do all of them just now until I get the '11 SOLD. LOL AND it will become my son's problem next month when he closes on house purchase and moves out of the family nest!

    OK, seems like FOREVER since I said I would get around to it BUT here is my current status with the '14's TPMS. I did not rotate any tires and just replaced the module in the LR wheel arch. Did a auto relearn drive and came up with the Left rear not reading. My original problem was the RF dropping out intermittently. Going to visit my friend who has a number of tire and high end scanners to check the LR sensor out. MAYBE it is going bad as I've not replaced any sensors since getting the car a year ago.

    New {reman} or USED alternators? The voltage regulator is located in the ECM{PCM} box. check wiring from there to the alternator, and if good you MAY be looking at needing a new{reman} ECM{PCM} box.

    Our LONG relationship as friends and professionally and GREEN CASH goes a LONG WAY ....LOL

    It was $1200 for all the work and then I had to buy the rear tires. My friend gave me a pretty good break on parts and labor, as it is no small job to pull the AWD model trans.

    Well a bit more than 2 weeks worth of driving and just a couple MINOR glitches were found by the wife. ALL fixed within 10 minutes time with NO PARTS needed. BUT the largest complaint is that the analog speedometer is KPH primary {bigger size numbers} and MPH secondary {smaller size numbers}. She says she can "live with it", and overall likes this '13 RT quite well! She should for $5,000.! My son is VERY HAPPY getting the '14 SXT, and I'm broke from paying for a new torque converter/labor and 2 rear upper control arms{$1,200.} and 2 new rear tires {$266.} for the '14 before turning it over to him! I debated in my mind about keeping the '11 for a SPARE VEHICLE, but MONEY {or my lack of it} won out and the "11 WILL BE SOLD.

    With pans using RTV instead of leak prone gaskets, one needs to use a tool like a 2" wide paint scraper to work around between the trans case and pan. Quite common to see that. Yes some codes point directly to a converter problem and other to deep internal trans troubles. Get it back to whom replaced the trans! Even if they offer a partial coverage, it would be well worth doing.

    With any auto trans, the first thing{and easiest} is drop the bottom trans pan and inspect for sludge/ debris laying in the bottom. Some amount of fiber is ok but not metal bits. We recently{2 weeks ago} had to have the trans pulled out on our '14 for a failing torque converter that threw code P0740. Not a fun job and it cost me $1k parts and labor. 1 year on a reman trans? take it back and see what they say or can do!

    A broken / bad actuator may have failed in the "hot" position for the passenger side. This is also true for A/C usage as A/C temp is controlled by the blend door actuators. There is a blend door for driver and another for passenger side on models with "dual zone" front temp adjustment{which most all DJ's have}. IF these are working, then there is the POSSIBILITY that A/C refrigerant is low on charge. You have been given the correct video and suggestions on what to check first.

    YUP it is a nice car no qualms about that fact of costs and maint. I will add that for the short time being ... WE ARE A THREE DJ FAMILY{all at the same time} and a '10 Buick Lucerne!
  15. 5rebel9
    Hey all! Well the "new to us" 13 DJ is now in our driveway! Got to adjust to the added features of this R/T model, like navigating the controls on the big screen audio. BUT I have to admit that I'm not so excited about having this now third DJ. Nice ride and features....just feeling a little "underwhelmed" already having 2 other journeys Grey color, 2 row leather seating, 3.6 AWD.

    Glad to hear the TPMS situation seems resolved. I'm still going to check the module plug and the try out my 1 week old alfaOBD program and see what it can do with TPMS. Have not had a lot of time to "play" with it due to vehicle use/time/weather conditions! Also wondering on your ABS concern that you MAY actually be having a wheel bearing TONE RING problem and not the module??? Lots of "techs" just go with code message and don't investigate FULLY.

    Thanks for your update as to how yours is working out and glad to hear that the summer set of wheels {and sensors} work well. YOUR circumstances lead me to wonder that you have a funky sensor, but not sure of HOW you "relearned positions" with swapping tire positions. SOMETIMES it can take quite a while of driving at certain speeds to get them to read correctly.
  18. 5rebel9
    CORRECTION !!! Module is in the LEFT REAR . I've been doing therapy exercises with my father {recovering from a stroke} and am mixing up Left/right by working in front of him for a year now. He's gaining function back slowly but quite nicely! This is the main reason you have not seen me posting as often lately...I'm "whooped"!

    Yes the module is located in the R Rear wheel arch, need to pull down the plastic liner for access. Our early '14 is coming on for R Front and then will return to normal operation intermittently. I think it is a poor plug in connection to the module. Plastic end may latch fine, but that does NOT mean good metal wire end contacts. Still waiting for steady WARM weather to bend the plastic wheel liner to get at it!

    SORRY about that! BUT you do realize this was posted in DECEMBER of 2017 and this is now 2023, YOUTUBE videos do not stay available indefinitely on any forum. YOU may want to try and do a YOUTUBE site search and see if YOU can pull it up from YOUTUBE, the title posted here is all YOU should need to do a search on YOUTUBE. GOOD LUCK to you!

    DITTO ! From a member a reasonable drive SOUTH of the USA Niagara Falls, NY {near Olean,NY}
  22. 5rebel9
    OK so a 4 cylinder motor. BUT what is the problem you have? Overheating{loosing coolant} or not good interior heat?
  23. 5rebel9
    Situation RESOLVED! Had to have more PATIENCE and learn how to navigate the pages and make the pop up keyboard appear to type in hood switch. A short 8 mile drive and shut off for 10 minutes and REMOTE START WORKS! !My friend has 3 vehicles lined up for me to do same upgrade for some of his customers already, he told them to "hang on" a bit until he knew for sure this{and ME} could make it happen! I had promised the wife that I would get remote start for this car for her back in JULY and before WINTER....I'm a bit LATE. but NOW it's there and working! By the end of the month she will have a different DJ with this convenience and more, my son will take over this '14 sxt and we will be selling his '11 mainstreet that is quite base.

    In the North American market there are only 2 sizes of engine. The L4 2.4 or the V6 3.6. Posting the engine size will also tell us here which transmission it will have for us here to offer more help.

    OK, so I bought the OBDlinkMX+, a new android based tablet and alfaobd program. All is connected and functioning. BUT I can't get the remote start to work with new R.start fob that paired up fine to ignition and door locks. Has a hood switch installed, but on the alfa program page could not find or type in hood switch as many youtube videos show. At the time of my giving up the horn would chirp after one lock press and two presses of the R.S. button. And yes I took it on a 20 mile round trip and waited for 30 minutes to try the remote start. ANY HELP from those that have done this successfully would be greatly appreciated. BTW this is being done on an early 2014 sxt trim
