P2015: Intake-manifold runner position range / performance

The intake-runner position signal is outside the range expected by the controller.

Common symptoms

  • Warning light
  • Flat low-speed response
  • Uneven running
  • Occasional reduced power

Likely causes

  • Worn linkage or stop
  • Carbon-restricted swirl flaps
  • Actuator fault
  • Position-sensor fault

First checks

  • Inspect linkage movement
  • Run actuator output tests
  • Check for carbon restriction and wiring faults

Important

The correct repair depends heavily on the exact engine and manifold design.

A fault code identifies a detected condition, not a failed part. Confirm manufacturer-specific subcodes and live data.
