I was out in the desert this morning and suddenly I noticed the Check Engine Light was on. No performance issues, was able to go hill climbing with no issues, no rough idle or stalling. I used a scanner tool and the P1391 code came up. From what I have been reading on the web, this could be a cam or crankshaft sensor. Before I start switching them out, has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Yep, that's a camshaft or crankshaft position sensor.

This video might be worth watching:


Here's two threads worth reading as well:

Jeep Wrangler TJ Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement

Should be easy and straight forward. Go with OE Mopar replacement sensors, as aftermarket ones are known to cause issues (no joke).

I also believe there is a procedure in the FSM to test each sensor to see which one is the culprit.

If you don't yet have a FSM, you can download them here for free:
