Title: Code 19 - Crank Sensor
Post by: Lazydocker on 23 September 2008, 23:22:07
I have still got a 19 coming up on the paperclip test, even after lots of clean starts since the replacement. Now a couple of thoughts on this:

1. Possibly a dodgy sensor, although I'm getting no symptoms at all now and it's running like a dream so probably not.

2. The LPG ECU feed is weakening the signal slightly causing the code 19 to come up.

3. The code needs to be cleared with a code reader to get it to go away.

Any thoughts peoples? I'm not overly concerned because there's no problems at all with the running of the car.

how many starts since changed? Is it 30 trouble free before it clears?

19 generally clears pretty quickly in my experience.

In this case, I would recommend clearing it manually, and then checking daily for its return.  If it returns, you need to investigate further, as it means the ECU is not able to read the signal consistently, and that means a trip on a low loader when you need the car most

It's had more than 30... In fact I had loads of codes spring up due to the air leak I got when doing it and they've all cleared!

TB. I had a feeling that would be the most sensible answer!

Was it a Vx sensor or a pattern part?

Unfortunately I had to fit a genuine Bosch one, not a VX branded Bosch one, due to getting the wrong one supplied at the Stealers. I had no choice as the old one had died completely and I was 250 miles from home by the time I tried to change it!! That said, it's only a month old so wouldn't have expected it to be faulty already :-/ :-/

Don't know.... Haven't checked it  :-[ :-[ :-[

It's giving no symptoms what so ever and running like a dream so I'm not panicking! [size=8]Famous last words[/size] I guess I'll have to get myself over to see TB and get the codes cleared and the firmware updates done at the same time ::)
