Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor 2 -G512- electrical harness connector Specified value
1 to Ground (GND) about 5 V
2 to Battery positive (+) Battery voltage (+)
3 to Ground (GND) Battery voltage (+)

Switch the ignition off.

If the specified values are obtained:

-- Replace the Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor 2 -G512-.

If specified values are not obtained:

Checking wiring 

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

-- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, REPLACING .

-- Using a multimeter --, check the Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor 2 -G512- electrical harness connector terminals to the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector T60 terminals for an open circuit.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

-- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .

-- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .

-- End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, REPLACING .

-- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures 

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
