Code result
P207C
Intake Manifold Tuning
Moderate severity
What it means
IMT position sensor at bank 2 reads below lower plausibility — short to ground. The intake manifold runner control (IMRC) flaps tune intake geometry for filling efficiency across the rpm range; stuck flaps cost part-load torque and can set lean codes.
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.
