2014 Jeep Cherokee Air Filter in Albuquerque, NM

The engine air filter is housed in a rectangular airbox under the hood at the front of the engine bay.

On the 2014 Jeep Cherokee you’ll find the airbox easily accessible once the hood is open; it’s designed for simple inspection or removal. Technicians check the housing seal and intake ducting for debris when changing the filter to protect the MAF sensor and intake tract.

• Located in the engine bay inside a plastic rectangular airbox.
• Accessible from above—no major trim removal needed.
• Technician inspects intake duct and housing seal during service.

The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box inside the passenger compartment.

Access typically requires dropping or swinging the glove box to reach the filter housing, which is a common DIY task but can involve removing plastic retainers. Technicians will check the HVAC inlet for leaf, dust, and pollen buildup when replacing the filter.

The engine air filter cleans combustion intake air for the 2.4L engine; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system.

They serve separate systems: one protects engine performance and fuel economy, the other improves occupant comfort and air quality. Both should be inspected regularly in dusty or pollen-heavy environments like Albuquerque to prevent reduced performance or clogged HVAC flow.

• Engine filter protects the intake, MAF sensor, and combustion process.
• Cabin filter traps pollen, dust, and road particulates for occupants.
• Replacement intervals and inspection needs differ between the two filters.

Common signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, and musty cabin odors.

Engine-side symptoms tend to affect drivability and efficiency, while a clogged cabin filter shows up as poor ventilation and odors in the passenger area. In Albuquerque’s dry, dusty climate, watch for accelerated buildup after extended dirt-road use or pollen season.

• Engine: reduced throttle response, decreased MPG, rough idle.
• Cabin: low fan flow, stale or musty smells from vents.
• Visual checks reveal dark, packed filter media indicating replacement.

Engine filters are often DIY-friendly; cabin filters require glove-box access and moderate trim removal—many owners choose dealer service for inspection and OEM-spec parts.
