P2614

Critical
Moderate

Camshaft Position Signal Output Circuit/Open

What Does P2614 Mean?

The PCM has detected an open circuit or lack of signal in the camshaft position sensor output circuit. This circuit sends the camshaft position signal to other control modules for synchronization.

Safety Warning

Vehicle may not start or may run poorly with rough idle and reduced power. Continued driving could cause engine damage.

Common Causes

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Inspect camshaft position sensor connector and wiring for damage, corrosion, or looseness

2

Step 2: Check continuity of signal wire between PCM and receiving module using wiring diagram

3

Step 3: Measure camshaft sensor resistance according to specifications (typically 200-900 ohms)

4

Step 4: Check sensor air gap to reluctor wheel if applicable (typically 0.020-0.050 inches)

5

Step 5: Monitor camshaft position sensor signal with oscilloscope during cranking or running

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $800
