Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) Valve Position Sensor/Switch Circuit High (Bank 1)
IMT position sensor at bank 1 reads above upper plausibility — open signal or short to B+. 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.
Affected components
- Imt position sensor
Common causes
- High likelihood: Open signal line
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source
