Question

2007 Ford Explorer 4.0L with engine code P0219, car shuts OFF

Answer 1

Hi there,

The code is for engine overspeed. Basically it's saying the engine speed was to high and the rev limiter had to kick in. This should not stop the engine from running and once the speed goes back to normal the code can be cleared. There isn't any repair for this

Engine RPM/Vehicle Speed Limiter 
The PCM disables some or all of the fuel injectors whenever an engine RPM or vehicle over speed condition is detected. The purpose of the engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter is to prevent damage to the powertrain. The vehicle exhibits a rough running engine condition, and the PCM stores one of the following continuous memory diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs): P0219, P0297, or P1270. Once the driver reduces the excessive speed, the engine returns to the normal operating mode. No repair is required. However, the technician should clear the DTCs and inform the customer of the reason for the DTC.

Excessive wheel slippage may be caused by sand, gravel, rain, mud, snow, ice, or excessive and sudden increase in RPM while in NEUTRAL or while driving.
