P2015-INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER POSITION SENSOR PERFORMANCE - BANK 1
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
Theory of Operation
The Intake Swirl Valve is located under the Intake Manifold. The Intake Swirl Valve is supplied 12 Volts by the ASD circuit and has a dedicated ground. It is controlled using a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) circuit by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The Intake Swirl Valve has an internal position sensor that is monitored by the PCM over the (N119) Intake Swirl Valve Signal circuit. The Intake Swirl Valve is used to create turbulence in the air entering the combustion chamber which helps to reduce emissions.
-
When Monitored:
With the ignition on and battery voltage above 10.5 Volts.
-
Set Condition:
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the Intake Swirl Valve is stuck in one position for 3.8 seconds.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
| 1. | Turn the ignition on. |
| 2. | Using the scan tool, erase PCM DTCs. |
| 3. | Perform several ignition cycles, turning the ignition off for at least 10 seconds between each ignition cycle. |
| 4. | Using the scan tool, actuate the Intake Swirl Valve. |
| 5. | Monitor the scan tool for PCM DTCs. |
| NOTE: | Repair any other Intake Swirl Valve control or postion sensor DTCs before continuing with this diagnostic procedure. |
Is the DTC active?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure)
| 1. | Replace the Intake Swirl Valve in accordance with the service information. |
| 2. | Start the engine and allow it to idle for up to two minutes. |
| 3. | Using the scan tool, view active DTCs. |
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
No
- Test complete.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
