DTC Descriptor
DTC P0660: Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) Valve Solenoid Control CircuitDiagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Ignition 1 Voltage | * | P0660 | P0660 | -- |
IMT Valve Control Circuit | P0660 | P0660 | P0660 | -- |
* The engine cranks but does not run and opens the fuse that supplies voltage to the IMT valve solenoid. | ||||
Circuit/System Description
An ignition 1 voltage is supplied directly to the intake manifold tuning (IMT) valve solenoid or variable geometry induction system (VGIS). The engine control module (ECM) controls the IMT valve solenoid by grounding the control circuit via an internal driver switch. The primary function of the driver is to supply ground for the IMT valve solenoid. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the voltage on the control circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The engine is running. |
| • | The ignition 1 voltage is more than 10 volts. |
| • | DTC P0660 runs continuously once the above condition is met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects an open or short to ground or voltage on the control circuit of the IMT valve solenoid.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0660 is a Type C DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0660 is a Type C DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, command the IMT valve solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. You should hear and feel an audible click.
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the IMT valve solenoid.
- Ignition ON, test for battery voltage between the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 2.
- Command the IMT valve solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF with the command.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the IMT valve solenoid.
| ⇒ | If less than B+, repair the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. Replace the fuse, if necessary. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
