Variable intake manifold switchover valve, ME-SFI fault code description - AD07.61-P-4000-81A

    Variable intake manifold switchover valve 
1A Fault code
(USA ONLY Display on generic scan tool)
P2074 (-)
1B Engine 112, 113 as of 1/01 P2074-[1] Short circuit to positive (-)
Fault code P2074-[2] Short circuit to ground(-)
(USA ONLY Display on generic scan tool) P2074-[4] Line interruption (-)
2 Fault storage After expiry of test duration and fault
Activation of the engine diagnosis indicator lamp (EURO3/4)
or CHECK ENGINE (MIL) malfunction indicator lamp USA ONLY
No activation
3 Checking frequency Continuous
4 Checked signal or status Current/ voltage test at variable intake manifold switchover valve
5 Fault setting conditions  Voltage lower than 2.5 V
Limit values Current higher than 4.2 A
  Short circuit to ground No voltage at variable intake manifold switchover valve
Short circuit to positive Approx. 4 to 8 V at output of ME-SFI control unit under no load.
Line interruption  
6 Check prerequisites Battery voltage between 8 and 17 V
7 IMPORTANT Actuation of the variable intake manifold switchover valve is checked for to detect a cable breakage and short-circuit (to ground or battery voltage). A short circuit to ground and a line interruption will be detected when the output stages are locked, whilst a short circuit to the battery voltage will be detected when the output stages are conducting.
The output stage is immediately no longer activated when a fault arises.
