Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) Valve Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Low (Bank 1)
IMT position sensor at bank 1 reads below lower plausibility — short to ground. The intake manifold runner control (IMRC) flaps tune intake geometry for filling efficiency across the rpm range; stuck flaps cost part-load torque and can set lean codes.
