Standard definition

Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch 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

The IMRC position sensor on bank 2 reports a signal above the upper plausibility limit — typically an open signal line, broken sensor, or short to B+.

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