P2614Camshaft A Position Signal Output Circuit/Open (Bank 1)

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
  • Can trigger limp mode
How the car detects it
Some engine computers pass a copy of the camshaft position signal on to another module, for example an injector driver unit or a valve timing controller. P2614 means that this outgoing line for camshaft A on bank 1 is broken or its pulses never reach the receiver. On the 2003 Ford 6.0 L Power Stroke diesel the PCM forwards the CMP pulse to the fuel injector control module (FICM); a counter in the FICM rises when that pulse is missing or out of step with the crank signal, checked above 90 rpm with 5 errors while cranking or 10 while running, and Ford lists the code with MIL. Mitsubishi names P2614 to P2616 for the 2022 Outlander, whose ECM feeds an electric intake valve timing module. P2615 and P2616 cover the shorted cases. Expect hard starting, stalling or a no-start.
What you may notice
  • Malfunction indicator lamp on
  • Long cranking or no-start
  • Engine stalls or misfires intermittently
Likely causes
  • LikelyBroken wire or loose terminal between sending module and receiving module
  • PossibleCamshaft sensor signal itself missing or out of sync with the crank signal
  • RareReceiving module (e.g. injector control module) not reading the signal
  • RareDefective output stage in the engine control module
Inspection (ITP)
Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
