P2614
Camshaft A Position Signal Output Circuit/Open Bank 1
Camshaft position
Generic OBD-II
Medium
What it means
P2614 means the ECM detected an open in the circuit that outputs the bank 1 camshaft position signal — the buffered cam signal it shares for timing or with another module. It's usually a wiring or connector fault. Many vehicles keep running, but on those that depend on this signal you may see hard starting, stalling, or rough running.

Can I keep driving? Often drivable, but some vehicles that rely on this signal for timing may hard-start, stall, or run rough.
Common symptoms
What you'll notice
- Check-engine light on with the code stored

How to diagnose & fix
Work through it in order
- Read freeze-frame data and scan for cam-sensor codes such as P0340 or P0341.
- Inspect the signal-output wiring and connectors for opens or corrosion.
- Check continuity of the output circuit end to end.
- Repair any underlying camshaft position sensor fault first.
- If wiring is good, test the ECM output. Clear and re-test.
FAQ
Quick answers
Is it safe to drive with P2614?+
