What Does P2014 Mean?
DTC P2014 indicates a general circuit malfunction in the intake manifold runner position sensor or switch on bank 1. This sensor provides feedback to the ECM on the actual position of the intake runner flaps. When the ECM detects that the position sensor signal is outside its normal operating range or is erratic, it sets this code, losing the ability to verify IMRC actuator operation.
Common Causes
35%
Faulty IMRC position sensor/switch on bank 1
25%
Damaged or corroded wiring to the IMRC position sensor
20%
Poor connector contact at the IMRC position sensor
12%
Defective IMRC position sensor reference voltage supply from ECM
8%
IMRC actuator mechanical failure preventing proper sensor reading
Diagnostic Steps
1
Verify 5V reference voltage is present at the IMRC position sensor connector on bank 1.
2
Check the sensor ground circuit for continuity back to the ECM ground pin.
3
Monitor the IMRC position sensor PID on a scan tool while manually moving the runner flaps; the signal should change smoothly without dropouts.
4
Inspect the sensor connector for bent pins, corrosion, or contamination.
5
If the sensor tests good but the code returns, check for binding or mechanical issues in the runner linkage that prevent the sensor from reaching its full range.
Estimated Repair Cost

The most common cause of P2014 (Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Bank 1) is: Faulty IMRC position sensor/switch on bank 1
Typical repair costs for P2014 range from $80 to $350, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Low safety risk. Without position feedback, the ECM cannot confirm runner position but the IMRC may still function. Reduced engine optimization at certain speeds.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2014 to identify the root cause.
