C0619 Brake Pedal Position Sensor A Offset Exceeded Learning Limit

Pedal position sensors are taught their rest value, and C0619 says the offset found for channel A lies outside the band the controller will accept. A Hitachi patent on electric boosters learns the stroke sensor zero only with the pedal released and no brake request, and treats a zero beyond a prescribed range as a sensor fault. Mitsubishi's 2023 Outlander PHEV maps C18EE-96 (abnormal stroke sensor value) to C0619, with MIL and brake warnings after two trips; boost, regenerative braking and automatic braking stop. GM's PIT5206D shows the field side: a wiring dropout made the ECM learn 0.61 V instead of about 1 V, so it saw the brake applied. GM relearns after any sensor or module service (16-NA-155).

Likely causes

Intermittent connection in the sensor circuit that skewed the learned value
Pedal not returning fully (floor mat, stiff pivot, wrong adjustment)
Sensor drifted or fitted out of position after replacement
Learn procedure skipped or disturbed after sensor or module service

Symptoms

  • Brake or brake system warning lamp; check engine lamp on some vehicles
  • Brake lights, cruise control or shifting behave as if the pedal were pressed
  • Reduced brake assist or regenerative braking on electrified models
