Standard definition

Intake Manifold Tuning Valve Control Circuit High Bank 2

This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.

In plain English

Same as P0662 on bank 2. 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.

A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.
