We cover the Grand Cherokee across the WK, WK2 and WL generations. Engines include 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, 5.7- and 6.4-liter HEMI V8, the supercharged 6.2-liter Trackhawk, the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel, the 4xe plug-in hybrid and the 3.0-liter Hurricane.


The 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee belongs to the Grand Cherokee WJ generation, built for model years 1999–2004. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2001 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2001 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “1”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 25 years old, a 2001 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
Same generation: 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
