P207C
Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) Valve Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Low (Bank 2)
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.
- Check engine light: Yes
- Emissions related: Yes
- Repair difficulty: medium
