P2009: Intake Manifold Runner Control Solenoid Circuit Low (Bank 1)

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P20xx — Fuel & air metering and auxiliary emission controls

What does P2009 mean?

The IMRC solenoid drive line for bank 1 reads below the lower threshold — short to ground or a failed driver stage. The runner cannot be switched on demand.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Common causes

  • High Drive line shorted to ground
  • Medium Solenoid internally shorted
  • Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
