• Solutions

The P2615 fault code indicates a problem with the camshaft position signal output circuit. This signal is critical for the engine control module (ECM) to accurately control ignition timing and fuel delivery. When this fault code is triggered, it means that the signal from the camshaft position sensor is lower than expected, which can disrupt engine performance.

What are the symptoms of the P2615 code?

Drivers experiencing the P2615 code may notice several symptoms, including:

• Engine misfires or rough idle
• Decreased throttle response and engine power
• Check engine light illuminated on the dashboard
• Potential stalling or difficult starts
• Poor fuel efficiency due to improper timing

What causes the P2615 code?

Common causes of the P2615 fault code may include:

• Failed camshaft position sensor
• Wiring issues such as frayed or shorted wires in the signal circuit
• Poor connections or corrosion at the sensor connector
• A malfunctioning ECM that cannot interpret the signal accurately
• Timing chain or belt issues affecting camshaft positioning

How to fix P2615?

To address the P2615 fault code, the following steps can be taken:

• Perform a visual inspection of the wiring and connectors of the camshaft position sensor for signs of damage or corrosion.
• Test the camshaft position sensor using a multimeter to verify that it is functioning within specifications.
• If the sensor is faulty, replace it with a new one according to manufacturer specifications.
• Clear the fault code from the ECM and perform a test drive to ensure the issue has been resolved.
• If the problem persists, further diagnosis may be needed, including checking the ECM and the timing components.
