P2016: Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Low (Bank 1)
Standardized SAE J2012 code · P20xx — Fuel & air metering and auxiliary emission controls
What does P2016 mean?
The IMRC position sensor signal on bank 1 reads below the lower limit. Usually a short to ground on the signal wire or a failed sensor.
The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.
Common causes
- High Signal wire shorted to ground
- Medium Position sensor failed low
- Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
