P2608: Intake Air Heater B Circuit High

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P26xx — Computer and output circuits

What does P2608 mean?

Voltage on the secondary intake air heater control line is above the expected window. Typical causes are a short to battery or an open relay coil.

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

Common causes

  • High Control wire shorted to a B+ supply
  • Medium Open relay coil
  • Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

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