Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Listen for an audible click when the intake manifold runner control (IMRC) solenoid operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
  2. 4:  Tests for voltage at the coil side of the IMRC solenoid. The manifold fuse supplies power to the coil side of the IMRC solenoid.
  3. 5:  Verifies that the ECM is providing ground to the IMRC solenoid.
  4. 6:  Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the IMRC solenoid.

  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text, or as close to the Freeze Frame/Failure Records that you observed.
Does the DTC fail this ignition?
Go to Step 4  Go to Intermittent Conditions
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the IMRC solenoid.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Probe the battery voltage circuit of the IMRC solenoid with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground.
Does the test lamp ON?
Go to Step 5  Go to Step 11 
  1. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the IMRC solenoid and the battery voltage circuit of the IMRC solenoid.
  2. Command the IMRC solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool.
Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF?
Go to Step 9  Go to Step 6 
Does the test lamp remain ON with each command? Go to Step 8  Go to Step 7 
7 Test the control circuit of the IMRC solenoid for an open or high resistance.
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 14  Go to Step 10 
8 Test the control circuit of the IMRC solenoid for a short to ground.
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 14  Go to Step 10 
9 Inspect for poor connections at the IMRC solenoid.
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 14  Go to Step 12 
10 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the engine control module (ECM).
Did you find and correct the condition?
Go to Step 14  Go to Step 13 
11 Repair the battery voltage circuit of the IMRC solenoid.
Did you complete the repair?
Go to Step 14  -
12 Replace the IMRC solenoid. Refer to Intake Plenum Switchover Solenoid Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?
