P2021: Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit High (Bank 2)

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

What does P2021 mean?

The IMRC position sensor on bank 2 reports a voltage above the upper threshold — usually a short to positive or an open ground.

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

Common causes

  • High Signal shorted to positive
  • 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 P2021 on the same make and model first.
