Circuit/System Description

Circuit Description
Control — Terminal 4 The output circuit is switched from ground to 12 V to activate the component. The output is PWM controlled.
Control — Terminal 5 The output circuit is switched from ground to 12 V to activate the component. The output is PWM controlled.
Component Description
K20 Engine Control Module The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly.
Q22 Intake Manifold Tuning Solenoid Valve The valve is actuated by a 12 V DC motor. A spring is used to keep the valve in the open position. The valve actuator motor moves the valve in the closed direction. The more current flows through the motor, the more the valve closes. Not Activated = Open

Conditions for Running the DTC P10C1, P10EC, P10ED, P2010 Engine ≠ Cranking Ignition and Start Switch Signal = On Ignition and Start Signal = Greater than 11 V Intake Manifold Runner Control Valve Command = Greater than 0% Frequency the DTC runs = Continuously — After the running conditions are met P2008, P2009, P201B Engine ≠ Cranking Ignition and Start Switch Signal = On Ignition and Start Signal = Greater than 11 V Intake Manifold Runner Control Valve Command = 0% Frequency the DTC runs = Continuously — After the running conditions are met Conditions for Setting the DTC P10C1 Control Circuit = Greater than 8 A — For greater than 3 s P10EC Control Circuit = Greater than 6.3 A — For greater than 3 s P10ED Control Circuit = Warmer than 170°C (338°F) — For greater than 3 s P2008, P2009, P2010 Control Circuit = Commanded state does not match the actual state — For greater than 3 s P201B Control Circuit = Less than 6 V — For greater than 3 s Actions Taken When the DTC Sets DTCs listed in the DTC Descriptor category = Type B DTC Reduced Engine Power = Active P16 Instrument Cluster = Reduced Engine Power Warning Message = Service Emission System /Service Exhaust Fluid System Conditions for Clearing the DTC DTCs listed in the DTC Descriptor category = Type B DTC Diagnostic Aids A high resistance condition on the component circuits may cause the DTC to set. A weak battery may cause this DTC to set.
