P2676Air Cleaner Inlet Control Circuit Low
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- P2676 means the control line of the air cleaner inlet flap sits at too low a voltage for the state the controller has commanded. On a low-side driven solenoid this typically appears when the line is shorted to ground and the actuator is energised permanently; on other designs a shorted coil pulls the voltage down. Ford lists P2676 in its 2014 gasoline OBD code list as a continuous test with no MIL entry, so on those cars the code may sit in memory without a warning lamp. No public Ford text names the vehicles or the flap's job. CARB requires outputs that can change emissions to be checked for such faults. Expect the flap to stay in one position; drivability rarely changes. P2677 covers the opposite case.
