P201B: Intake Manifold Runner Control Actuator Supply Voltage Low (Bank 1)

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

What does P201B mean?

The supply voltage feeding the IMRC actuator on bank 1 is below the lower limit — typically a fuse, relay, or harness fault on the supply rail.

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

Common causes

  • High Supply fuse blown
  • Medium Open supply wire
  • Medium Supply relay contacts pitted
