What P2614 means
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.
P2614 at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testCan fail
- Limp modePossible
- Repair difficultyMedium
- Typical labor0.5 to 3 hours
- Clears after repairWhen cleared with a scanner
Symptoms of P2614
- Malfunction indicator lamp on
- Long cranking or no-start
- Engine stalls or misfires intermittently
Common causes of P2614
- Most likelyBroken wire or loose terminal between sending module and receiving module
- PossibleCamshaft sensor signal itself missing or out of sync with the crank signal
- Less likelyReceiving module (e.g. injector control module) not reading the signal
- Less likelyDefective output stage in the engine control module
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P2614 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 2 | Generic code (second SAE range): it means the same on every make. |
| 6 | Area: computer (engine control module) and output circuits. |
| 14 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P2614 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about P2614
What does P2614 mean?
P2614 means "Camshaft A Position Signal Output Circuit/Open (Bank 1)". 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. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P2614?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With P2614 the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will P2614 fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P2614 is emissions-related, so most inspection programs fail a car while it is stored or while the check engine light is on.
How hard is P2614 to fix?
Difficulty: medium. A typical repair takes 0.5 to 3 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P2614 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
