What P2619 means
P2619 is set when the crankshaft position output line is held at supply voltage while the module's low-side driver is switched on and expects it to be pulled down. GM's 2014 hybrid ECM table treats an impedance of 0.5 ohm or less toward power as the fault and evaluates it like the low case: 40 failures in 50 samples every 100 ms, engine not cranking, relay voltage of 11 V or more, Type B with MIL after two trips. GM also carries the code in its 2011, 2012, 2016 and 2023 tables, and Mitsubishi lists it for the 2022 Outlander. The usual cause is insulation damage that lets the line touch a positive feed, less often a defective output stage in the module. The listening controller then receives a constant level rather than teeth and may limit operation.

Symptoms of P2619
- MIL on after two drive cycles
- Receiving module reports implausible crank signal
- Possible reduced power or start problems
Common causes of P2619
- Most likelyDamaged insulation lets the output touch a positive feed
- PossibleLow-side driver in the engine module failed open
- Less likelyBack-feed through a corroded connector
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P2619 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. |
| 19 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P2619 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 P2619
What does P2619 mean?
P2619 means "Crankshaft Position Signal Output Circuit High". P2619 is set when the crankshaft position output line is held at supply voltage while the module's low-side driver is switched on and expects it to be pulled down. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P2619?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With P2619 the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will P2619 fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P2619 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 P2619 to fix?
Difficulty: medium. A typical repair takes 0.5 to 3 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P2619 clear itself after the repair?
After the repair the car has to complete a drive cycle (a mix of city and highway driving) before the test runs again. Until then the readiness monitor shows "not ready", which can fail an inspection.
