P2019

Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Range/Performance

Moderate severity

What it means

The IMRC position sensor on bank 2 produces an electrically valid signal that does not match the commanded runner state — typically a sensor drift or sticking flap.

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

  • Position sensor drift

    high

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

  • Carbon buildup blocks flap travel

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Sensor element aged beyond calibration window

    low

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