There are conflicting reports on the reliability of the crank sensor code. Most people claim that a faulty sensor always brings up code 19.
My very early 2.5 V6 suffered a total crank sensor failure but didn't bring up code 19.
What it did do was leave the warning light illuminated while the engine was cranking, fitted a new one and the light goes out immediately the engine turns over.
