P0019 on Ford
Crankshaft/Camshaft Position Correlation - Bank 2 Sensor B
P0019 on Ford vehicles indicates crankshaft/camshaft position correlation - bank 2 sensor b. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Ford model — most commonly on F-150. This code means the engine computer detected that the crankshaft and camshaft positions on bank 2 (sensor B, typically the exhaust camshaft) are out of their expected correlation — in other words, the cam and crank timing don't line up correctly. The computer compares the crankshaft and camshaft position sensor signals to verify valve timing, which is often controlled by a variable valve timing (VVT) actuator. A correlation error points to mistimed valve events, frequently from oil-flow or VVT issues, a stretched timing chain, or sensor faults. You may notice rough idle, reduced power, poor fuel economy, or a check-engine light, and ignoring it can risk engine damage. Typical repair costs on Ford range from $800 to $3,600, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0019
- •Stretched or worn timing chain (and worn guides/tensioner)
- •Faulty variable valve timing (VVT) actuator/solenoid (Bank 2)
- •Low oil level or dirty/sludged oil restricting VVT flow
- •Faulty camshaft or crankshaft position sensor
- •Clogged VVT oil control valve screen
- •Damaged sensor wiring or connector
- •Jumped/misaligned timing during prior service
P0019 on Ford by Model
Ford F-150(1 issue)
- 3.5L EcoBoost cam phaser rattle on cold start2017-2020
Second-gen 3.5L EcoBoost engines develop a loud rattle/knock from the front timing cover for 2-5 seconds on cold start (and sometimes at idle). The variable-cam-timing (VCT) phasers have a lock pin that fails to engage on startup, allowing the phaser to rattle against the cam sprocket. Over time the phasers and timing chain wear, which can throw cam/crank correlation codes and, if ignored, lead to further timing component damage. Ford acknowledged it in service bulletins and a Customer Satisfaction Program with an extended warranty.

What does P0019 mean on Ford?▼
P0019 stands for "Crankshaft/Camshaft Position Correlation - Bank 2 Sensor B." This code means the engine computer detected that the crankshaft and camshaft positions on bank 2 (sensor B, typically the exhaust camshaft) are out of their expected correlation — in other words, the cam and crank timing don't line up correctly. The computer compares the crankshaft and camshaft position sensor signals to verify valve timing, which is often controlled by a variable valve timing (VVT) actuator. A correlation error points to mistimed valve events, frequently from oil-flow or VVT issues, a stretched timing chain, or sensor faults. You may notice rough idle, reduced power, poor fuel economy, or a check-engine light, and ignoring it can risk engine damage. On Ford specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P0019 on Ford vehicles?▼
Common causes on Ford: Stretched or worn timing chain (and worn guides/tensioner), Faulty variable valve timing (VVT) actuator/solenoid (Bank 2), Low oil level or dirty/sludged oil restricting VVT flow, Faulty camshaft or crankshaft position sensor, Clogged VVT oil control valve screen. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix P0019 on a Ford?▼
Repair costs on Ford range from $800 to $3,600, depending on the specific model and root cause.
