The position of the swirlflaps is controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The ECM controls the intake manifold runner control solenoid valve to create a swirl in the combustion chamber to get a homogeneous diesel air mixture. The ECM will vary the IMRC referring to the barometric pressure and the mass air flow. The ECM uses a pulse width modulation on the control circuit to control the IMRC valve.

The ECM detects an overtemperature of the output driver from the intake manifold runner control solenoid valve

1. Ignition ON, command the Intake Manifold Runner ON and OFF with a scan tool. Observe the Intake Manifold Runner Control Valve Feedback Signal parameter.
2. 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.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q21 Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) Solenoid Valve.
2. Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the ignition circuit terminal 6 and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp is OFF, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and the ignition circuit terminal 6.
4. Command the Intake Manifold Runner ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.

⇒	If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM).

⇒	If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM).

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the Q21 Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) Solenoid Valve.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
