P2014Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit (Bank 1)
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- How the car detects it
- P2014 is the general electrical code for the flap position feedback on bank 1, used when the control unit sees a broken or shorted circuit without, or before, splitting it into low and high. Ford's 2012 summary calls it the IMRC input switch check: with coolant warmer than 40 °F it is checked all the time, and an open or shorted switch must persist for 5 s; from 2024 Ford treats P2014 as the base code whose failure bytes stand for low, high and over-travel. Volkswagen's quick reference for the 2014 Touareg sets it on the supercharged V6 hybrid (engine code CGFA) at a signal under 0.2 V. Volkswagen saw it on 2008–2011 2.0T engines (CCTA, CBFA) with failing manifolds and later told dealers on 1.8T/2.0T engines to replace only the sensor G336. The flaps then work unmonitored or are parked.
- What you may notice
- Check engine lamp on
- Slightly weaker pull or rougher idle while the flaps are parked
- Likely causes
- LikelyRunner position sensor (VW G336) failed internally
- PossibleSensor wiring broken or shorted
- PossibleManifold with integrated flap shaft and sensor damaged (VW 2.0T 2008–2011)
- RareCorroded or loose sensor connector
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
