General Information
P2022 Intake Manifold Runner Valve Position Sensor Circuit High
General Information
Component Location
General Description
The Variable Charge Motion Actuator (VCMA) is used to adjust a valve (flap) in the intake runner for each cylinder. The valve does not close off the runner but restricts in such a way as to cause turbulence (swirl) in the air fuel mixture. The turbulence in the air will reduce emissions under cold start condition. The valve is operated by a worm gear type driver which doesn't open for limp home mode in the case of loss of current supply. (It doesn't have a return spring). The system also has a Valve Position Sensor (VPS) to supply a feedback of the valve position to the PCM.
DTC Description
If the Valve Position Sensor (VPS) voltage is greater than the specified range; PCM determines that a fault exists and a P2022 DTC is stored.
