Intake Manifold Runner Control Circuit High Bank 1
What it means
P2010 means the PCM sees high voltage in the intake manifold runner control (IMRC) circuit on bank 1. These runners change intake airflow to boost low-rpm torque, so a circuit fault mainly costs a little low-end response and sets the check-engine light. The engine still starts and drives normally.
Can I keep driving? Yes — the engine still runs and starts; you may notice slightly softer low-rpm response until it's fixed.
Real-world scan data
Figures reflect only diagnostic scans recorded through our own apps and tools. Cars are typically scanned because a symptom or warning light prompted it, so these counts describe our scan records — not the incidence of faults in any model, and not the quality, reliability, or safety of any vehicle.

Common symptoms
What you'll notice
- Check-engine light on
- Slightly reduced low-end power or throttle response
- Minor rough running at certain rpm
Common causes
Most likely first
- Open or short to power in the intake manifold runner control (IMRC) circuitLikely
- Faulty IMRC actuator or solenoid on bank 1Common
- Damaged or corroded wiring or connector at the actuatorCommon
- Failed powertrain control module (PCM)Less often
How to diagnose & fix
Work through it in order
- Read freeze-frame data and visually inspect the IMRC actuator connector and wiring for damage or corrosion.
- Check the circuit for an open or short to power against the wiring diagram; repair as needed.
- Test the IMRC actuator/solenoid operation and replace it if it doesn't respond.
- If wiring and actuator test good, have the PCM diagnosed. Clear the code and re-test.
