- Open/short in the position-signal output wiring between PCM and the receiving module High
- Connector corrosion (salt-belt trucks especially) High
- Receiving module input fault Moderate
- PCM output driver fault Low
Can I Still Drive with POWERSTROKE-P2614?

How Do You Diagnose POWERSTROKE-P2614?
Understand the circuit first: The CMP output signal the PCM re-transmits (to the FICM on 6.0L) is open - causes a no-start or die-out; distinct from the CMP sensor input codes.
Check the output signal wiring end to end per the Ford pinpoint test.
Inspect connectors for corrosion and spread terminals.
Do not replace the cam/crank SENSOR for this code - the sensors have their own separate codes.
