P2015: Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1)

What does P2015 mean?

The bank 1 runner-position feedback is outside its expected relationship with runner movement. Wear, a sticking mechanism, or an inaccurate sensor can all make the indicated position implausible.

Generic OBD-II definition: Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1). Confirm applicability in your vehicle service information.

Common causes

• Binding or worn runner mechanism
• Faulty actuator/position sensor
• Poor sensor wiring or connector

Symptoms

• Reduced power
• Possible intermittent misfire
• Check engine light

Diagnostic focus

Do not assume a stop bracket or adaptation routine is a universal repair. Intake designs differ; establish whether the mechanism overtravels, binds, or has a genuine sensor-circuit fault.

Can I keep driving with P2015?

Severity: Medium Drive gently and get it diagnosed soon.

If the check engine light is flashing or the car runs badly, stop driving and have it checked.

Typical fixes

• Inspect runner linkage and wiring
• Compare command, actual movement, and feedback voltage
• Check applicable engine-specific service bulletins
