P0219

DTC P0219

Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located on top of the fly wheel housing. The engine control module (ECM) calculates the engine speed and exact position of the crankshaft based on the signal from the CKP sensor. If the ECM detects an engine overrun condition, this DTC will set.

Condition for Running the DTC
- The ignition switch is ON.

Condition for Setting the DTC
- The ECM detects that the engine speed is higher than 3900 RPM.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
- The control module does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records.

Condition for Clearing the DTC
- A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- Clear the DTC with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
- This DTC is caused by an engine overspeed condition, which was most likely caused by driver error (i.e. downshifting a manual transmission on a steep grade). Since this DTC does not illuminate any lamps, clear the DTC and ensure there are no signs of engine damage. Excessive engine overspeed may damage internal engine components.
- Make sure the CKP sensor is tight and the sensor wheel teeth are not damaged.
