This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer is having trouble reading a signal from a sensor that helps it know if the road is bumpy or not.
The P0319 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects a malfunction in the signal circuit of the Rough Road Sensor B.
The Rough Road Sensor B is responsible for detecting road conditions and sending this information to the ECM. This helps the vehicle adjust its performance for optimal handling and safety. A fault in this sensor's signal circuit can lead to improper vehicle response to road conditions.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor vehicle handling on rough roads
• Inconsistent ride quality
• Faulty Rough Road Sensor B
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Faulty ECM
ECM: Engine Control Module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics II
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for the Rough Road Sensor B.
• Test the sensor for proper operation.
• Replace the Rough Road Sensor B if faulty.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Reprogram or replace the ECM if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Socket set
$150 - $400
Moderate
• Toyota Camry
• Honda Accord
• Ford Focus
• Regularly inspect and maintain vehicle sensors.
• Ensure wiring and connectors are in good condition.
• Avoid driving on extremely rough roads when possible.
Sensor Issue
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional if the Check Engine Light comes on.
• Avoid rough roads until the issue is resolved.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for specific warranty coverage on sensors.
This code is relatively uncommon and typically occurs in vehicles with high mileage or those frequently driven on rough terrain.
Moderate – It's important to address this issue to maintain vehicle handling and safety.
Ignoring this code can lead to safety issues, especially in adverse driving conditions.
• Vehicle must be driven on a rough road.
• Engine must be running.
Typically located near the vehicle's suspension system.
Q: Can I drive with a P0319 code?
A: It's best to have it checked soon, as it can affect vehicle handling.
Q: Is it expensive to fix a P0319 code?
A: The cost can vary, but it typically ranges from $150 to $400.
