Hi,
I've not come across that particular symbol before, but anything showing a key is usually about the ignition systems.
Since it's not starting, my guess would be that your key isn't disarming the immobiliser.?
Have you got another key for that vehicle which you could try instead.?
Best of luck.

SOURCE: 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee no start

I just fixed the problem with the 96.

Crank no start
No fuel pressure
No spark
No volt gauge and no fuel gauge
No scanner obd working when hooked up says error no communication. With the help of this awesome guy randy from washington, i did some relay jumping, more wire tracing and found it was the crank sensor was shorting out with just the key on. with key on, locate the crank sensor behind the valve cover, unplug it and see if everything comes back on, this is what it did for me. Thanks again randy for the help and this gentleman can be reached @ http://www.aceautomotive1.com.

SOURCE: Starting Problem with 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Assuming I understand your problem correctly, it sounds as if the car will only start once the check engine light comes on.  The check engine light is controlled by the PCM (powertrain control module; or computer) which is also responsible for basically all engine operations including fuel delivery, ignition, emissions, and so on.  If this light is not coming on, it means that the computer is not getting power.  If the computer is not getting power then it won't start.  The fact that you hear the relays click on when the light comes on is another indicator the the computer is not getting power as it also supplies power to the ASD (Automatic Shutdown Relay) which in turn supplies the power to the fuel and ignition systems.  Check the ASD relay located in the power distribution center, if it is the same relay number as another un-important system, then swap it out to see if that helps.  Make sure the plugs going into the computer are tight.  The delay in the power going to the PCM sounds like a stuck relay, have someone tap the relays when the light is off to see if comes on.  It is also possible that the PCM itself is failing.

You say you changed the cam sensor. A1391 code is a crank sensor on the top of the trans. bell housing.

01 Jeep grand Cherokee I have crank but no start no gauges no power at fuel pump. All fuses good under dash & hood . Turn key to on, 1st warning light low fuel. 2nd key w/ line 3rd check engine help

you used voltmeter at the pump?> or just didnt here it run
do say this...please. details, matter....
it told you low fuel is it? is the fuel gauge near "E"
why not state that first.?
dead gauges, be 1st right, smacks of gross power loss.
right>? not clear to me what no gauges means.
but the voltmeter is #1 no?

did you tests fuse that look ok. fuse that look ok can be bad.
no gauges, means all dead, no movement,
well the fuel gauge must work , does it, does it match reality?
cranks but never runs. good input there.

does not run for the jeep 3 seconds.? (ASD rules)
no 12vdc power to pump, when cranking,?
01 grand WJ jeep usa.
is the skim lamp off, the cluster lamp for SKIM security is first.
it must go out after key turn on, or it will never run, ever.
I can help.
WJ jeep
this jeep has a voltage gauge, it must read 12v keyon
if not power is lost, or battery low.
if cranks that tells me the fues blew.
skim cuts spark and fuel, not cranking btw.
2002 cluster
http://jeepdied.com/cluster2002GC.JPG
see that lamp 12, if stuck on car will never start but will crank.
the lamp falses if skim is not working or stays on for ******* key.
we SCAN ALL CARS NOW.
IF You can not scan a modern jeep then it can near impossible to diagnose (a hard cold fact)
IF the ASD fails to work, the PCM tells you every time
all 8 ways for it to fail.
but that takes a scan tool (any modern scanner works,)

where to start... see if lights turn on, if not charge battery, once battery is charge try again, if cranks then could be battery or alternator, if not could be starter, spark plugs, coilpack... after youve looked at that let me know, ill adv further.

2008 Grand Cherokee Diesel won't crank

Is the security light on in the instrument cluster? This is the most common problem with a no start condition and everything else is powered. Try disconnecting the negative battery cable for about 30 minutes to reset the system and retry starting. Good luck.

2001 jeep grand cherokee,pulled dash out to change blender doors, put it back together, now shows gas gauge empty, and lights up, and key with circle cross on, won't start.

You will need to remove the cluster and make sure you plugged in all the connector to the cluster, the antitheft system runs throught the cluster also and you said fuel gauge doesnt work so i would have to say theres a bad connection or you forgot to plug a connector in. good day.

My 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Will die going down the road. Sometimes it starts back up without me touching the key.other times I have to wait a few minutes before it will crank again.Any suggestions? Thank...

I've got to be reading this incorrectly...You are driving, the engine turns off...you pull off the road? And then without touching the key the engine re-starts, but you haven't touched the key? Or, sometimes you need to sit there for a few minutes and then turn the key to start it?

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Electrical Problem

Try cleaning both battery connectors--both cable ends and posts with a common internal/external brush set available at auto supply dealers. Apply a corrosion inhibitor grease (from the same dealers) liberally to insides and outsides of posts and cable ends. Check the far ends of both cables for tightness and lack of corrosion.

2001 jeep cherokee want start

Dont worry about wire checks at this point. If the "no bus" message went away after disconnecting the sensor, then the sensor is bad. Replace the crank sensor and all will be good in the world again.
