Read codes and freeze-frame data with a scan tool; confirm P2006 and note conditions when set
Check for related codes (other IMRC or vacuum-related codes)
Perform a visual inspection of intake manifold area: vacuum lines, actuator, connectors and linkages
Using a scan tool, command the IMRC open and closed and observe actual response or position PID
Inspect vacuum supply: check hoses, fittings, and vacuum source for leaks or loss of vacuum
Manually operate actuator (apply vacuum or battery power per manufacturer procedure) to verify movement

Commanded position vs actual position PID should change when IMRC is commanded (percent or angle)
Actuator electrical: motor/solenoid voltage should respond to commands (design dependent; typically 0–12V or PWM duty cycle)
Position sensor (if present): voltage typically varies with position (commonly ~0.5–4.5 V range)
Vacuum-actuated systems: engine vacuum at idle commonly present (engine vacuum around ~15–22 inHg) and vacuum at actuator should hold under command
Response time: runner should move within a few seconds after command; no motion indicates fault

Confirm the code and note freeze-frame / driving conditions when fault occurred
Inspect: visually check vacuum lines, actuator, connectors and wiring for damage or disconnection
Using a scan tool, command the IMRC to open and closed while monitoring position PID or listening/observing movement
Check vacuum supply (for vacuum actuators): apply vacuum with hand pump to actuator and see if runner moves and holds vacuum
For electric actuators: check power and ground at the actuator when commanding; measure actuator resistance per service data
Manually operate linkage (per safe manufacturer procedure) to determine if mechanical binding or carbon is preventing movement
If actuator responds electrically but runners do not move, remove intake manifold or access port and inspect runners and pivots for carbon, debris, or broken components; clean or repair as needed
If actuator fails to respond to commands and wiring checks good, bench-test or replace the actuator/solenoid
After repairs, clear codes and road-test to confirm IMRC operates correctly and code does not return
If repeated faults with correct operation, consider module/software verification or replacement as last resort
