code won't go away.
« on: 27 July 2010, 18:40:45 »
Had crank sensor changed today at a cost of £111.00. Car runs perfectly but no matter what the mechanic did the 19 error code will not disappear. In fairness most likely after market sensor and non vauxhall code reader. Any thoughts.

In fairness, if she continues to run well I'm not that bothered  if it shows a fault code on a code reader or not. Seem to remember my wifes Vectra had a fault code generated a year before and that too ran fine.

My experience is that a code 19 will always be present if the engine isn't running (you won't get pulses of the crank when its not turning). Start her up and re-read.

If the engine is not running, then you get a 30 something code.

I've ever done the paper clip test other than a few months ago when the car died showing all the symptoms of a failed crank sensor. I got a code 19 but didn't check again when it was replaced.  :-/

For clarity...

19 - Incorrect rpm signal - fubar crank sensor
31 - No RPM signal - engine not running


I would try to get that code cleared, then see what comes back.  And we say genuine crank sensors for a reason ;)

Eledgedly he cleared the code, went for a run without incident and the code was back. ONLY got her back tonight so I'll see how it goes, if at all, over the next couple of days.

Hopefully it will replicate LD's car and won't give a stuff whether the code is showing up or not.

We've cleared mine a few times now and it still comes back. The Master has suggested I re-fit it to see if it makes a difference. For clarity, I have a Genuine Vx sensor fitted and the previous one was an identical Bosch sensor (with the Vx Part Number stamped on it!) as it was all that was available at the time.
