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
35%
Open or damaged wiring in camshaft position signal output circuit
30%
Faulty camshaft position sensor or internal open circuit
20%
Corroded or loose connector at camshaft sensor or receiving module
10%
PCM signal output driver circuit failure
5%
Damaged reluctor wheel or sensor air gap too large
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
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
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.
The most common cause of P2614 (Camshaft Position Signal Output Circuit/Open) is: Open or damaged wiring in camshaft position signal output circuit
Typical repair costs for P2614 range from $150 to $800, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Vehicle may not start or may run poorly with rough idle and reduced power. Continued driving could cause engine damage.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2614 to identify the root cause.
