DTC codes / P2Axx · Hybrid propulsion / P2AB6
P2AB6 indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a fault in the cold start intake manifold runner control (IMRC) system for bank 2, specifically that the runner control valve is stuck in the closed position. The PCM commands the IMRC to open during cold starts to improve combustion stability and reduce emissions, but the feedback signal or expected performance does not match the commanded state, so the PCM sets this code.
Guidance is general and written for all OBD-II vehicles. Exact tests and values vary by model, so confirm the fault before replacing parts.
