Most Reported On
P2010 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Intake Manifold Runner Control Circuit / Open (Bank 1).” This generic powertrain code indicates the Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected an open or fault in the electrical control circuit for the intake manifold runner control (IMRC) actuator on Bank 1. The IMRC system uses flaps or valves in the intake manifold to vary airflow length/velocity for optimal performance at different RPMs; a circuit fault prevents the ECM from properly commanding or monitoring the actuator. On many engines (notably VW/Audi) this points to the intake manifold runner control valve/motor itself being faulty. This code is most commonly reported on 2007-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (OM642 3.0L V6, OM651 2.1L 4-cyl), with repair costs ranging from $400 to $1,500.
