So I replaced the right side/passenger side rockers and lifters and then P0369 came on with a ticking sound. P0369 turns on right when I start the Jeep up. And driving around 3,300 rpm it goes limp. Anybody found a solution to this problem? Got two new Camshaft Position Sensors from Mopar I will be installing today. If that solves it I will let you know!

Welcome to Allpar. If ticking is present, I would suspect an engine lubrication issue. It is the first thing to look for in the 'Possible Causes'.

Before firing the "parts cannon" and randomly replacing the cam position sensor, check all the wiring to the sensor. Intermittent conditions that set a code are typically wiring related.

Try moving the camshaft sensor from bank 2 (driver side) to bank 1 position. Does the code move to bank 2? If YES then you know the sensor is faulty. If code reappears on bank 1 then it is NOT the sensor.

Two helpful video links attached. In first video the technician shows how to test a cam position sensor on a Chrysler 3.6 V6 engine. At time interval 3:50 he shows how to test the cam position sensor. Note that one sensor body employs 2 sensors: one for the intake cam and one for the exhaust. You do not need to remove the camshaft cover as shown.

Remove the sensor from the camshaft cover. Attach the multimeter leads as shown to check for voltage. Use a strong magnet such as one you would use to hold items on your refrigerator door. With no magnet present the meter reading should be about 5 volts. Manipulate the wiring to see if you can get the meter reading to drop to near zero. Place the sensor tip next to the magnet. The voltage should drop to near zero. This test will show if there is a sensor or wiring problem.


Now if this test does not show a problem with the wiring and / or sensor, follow this video link presented by a Mopar technician about a possible mechanical ( not electrical ) problem that can cause code P0369. As the Motor City Mechanic states this is a rare occurrence but is possible.
