P2013

Intake Manifold Runner Control Circuit High

Moderate severity

What it means

The IMRC actuator drive line on bank 2 reads above the expected voltage threshold — typically a short to battery voltage or an open ground side.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Short to B+ in driver line

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Open ground return on actuator

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
