The P2014 fault code indicates an issue with the Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor or switch on Bank 1a. This component is crucial for managing air intake into the engine for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. When this sensor detects an anomaly, it can lead to poor engine performance and increased emissions.

What are the symptoms of the P2014 code?

Drivers may notice several symptoms when the P2014 code is present, including:

• Reduced engine power or acceleration
• Poor fuel efficiency
• Check Engine Light illuminated on the dashboard
• Possible rough idling or stalling
• Increased emissions during testing

What causes the P2014 code?

Typically, this fault code can arise from:

• A faulty intake manifold runner position sensor
• Wiring issues, such as frayed or shorted wires
• Loose connectors or corroded terminals
• Mechanical issues with the intake manifold itself
• Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) readings

How to fix P2014?

To resolve the P2014 fault code, consider the following steps:

• Inspect the intake manifold runner position sensor for signs of damage or wear
• Check the electrical connections to the sensor for corrosion or poor connectivity
• Test the sensor and replace it if it is faulty
• Examine the intake manifold for any mechanical issues or blockages
• Clear the code and perform a test drive to ensure the issue does not return
