P2076: Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) Valve Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1)
Standardized SAE J2012 code · P20xx — Fuel & air metering and auxiliary emission controls
What does P2076 mean?
IMT valve position sensor at bank 1 reads in range but plausibility check fails — value sticks or does not match commanded position.
The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.
Common causes
- High Position feedback sticks
- Low Sensor element aged beyond calibration window
- Low Sensor mounting loose - signal damping
Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
