P2019

Moderate

Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Bank 2

What Does P2019 Mean?

DTC P2019 indicates a general circuit malfunction in the intake manifold runner position sensor or switch on bank 2. This is the bank 2 equivalent of P2014. The ECM has detected that the bank 2 IMRC position sensor signal is outside its normal operating range, erratic, or absent, preventing verification of bank 2 runner flap position.

Common Causes

35%

Faulty IMRC position sensor/switch on bank 2

25%

Damaged or corroded wiring to the bank 2 IMRC position sensor

20%

Poor connector contact at the bank 2 position sensor

12%

Missing or incorrect 5V reference voltage at the bank 2 sensor

8%

Mechanical failure in the IMRC linkage preventing sensor reading

Diagnostic Steps

1

Verify 5V reference voltage is present at the bank 2 IMRC position sensor connector.

2

Check the sensor ground (signal return) circuit for proper continuity to the ECM.

3

Monitor the bank 2 IMRC position sensor PID while manually operating the runner flaps; look for smooth, linear signal change.

4

Inspect the bank 2 sensor connector for bent pins, moisture, or contamination.

5

Compare bank 2 sensor readings with bank 1 under identical conditions to isolate the fault.

What causes P2019?

The most common cause of P2019 (Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Bank 2) is: Faulty IMRC position sensor/switch on bank 2

How much does it cost to fix P2019?

Typical repair costs for P2019 range from $80 to $350, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with P2019?

Low safety risk. Bank 2 IMRC position feedback is compromised but the engine continues to run. Slight reduction in performance optimization.

How do I diagnose P2019?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2019 to identify the root cause.
