P0219 Severity
Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.
For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.
Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.
The engine control module (PCM) will set code P0219. if the engine is rotating too fast. The setting of this code may void your vehicle's warranty. The PCM may also put the vehicle into "limp home mode", limiting the power of the engine, to protect the engine from additional damage.
