P2017: Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit High (Bank 1)

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

What does P2017 mean?

The IMRC position sensor signal on bank 1 reads above the upper limit. Typically a short to supply, an open ground reference, or a sensor that failed high.

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

Common causes

  • High Signal wire shorted to supply
  • Medium Sensor ground open
  • Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

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

Add your car to see reports of P2017 on the same make and model first.
