Help. P2010 short to plus code

[B18b1ex]

I have no idea what to do I have tried 3 of these sensors, with no luck I can’t believe it’s this. Out side of a broken wire knot sure what to do.

Thanks in advance.

Here is what’s in the 2012 service manual I have. Hopefully these help.

So first off, you haven't provided the model year of your S4 -- that's useful information for people who you're counting on for help should know. Since swapping out 3 of the sensors has not resolved the problem, there is most likely a wiring fault or other problem not related to the position sensor. Are there any other codes present when you scanned your car? If there are, they could be related, so please verify if the P2010 code is the sole fault code on your car. For example, here's a thread on the Ross-Tech website where a car had numerous faults, one of which was the P2010 Short-To-Plus error. It was resolved by replacing the wiring harness. Hopefully, your problem is less serious! Also, can you run a VCDS scan with the electrical connector to the sensor unplugged? If the short-to-plus error disappears it can help identify which wire to the sensor may have a short to power/plus. Are all fuses intact/working? Generally speaking, a direct short to plus (i.e., battery voltage) will blow a fuse. This could be a good place to start the search.

Has there been any water issues with your car, e.g., water infiltration or ponding in the engine bay/windshield cowl area? Has your car ever been in an accident involving the front end, engine compartment or engine bay wiring? Has your car been modified/tuned, or is it completely stock? Knowing the answers to these questions can be helpful in diagnosing the problem. Others can chime in with suggestions.

Edit: Just noticed CardFan's excellent post with the service manual step-by-step instructions for sectionalizing and isolating the P2010 fault! Pretty sure that this will be more helpful to the OP's resolution effort than my ramblings! OP - keep us posted on what you find!

First thanks to both of you for responding.

2016 S4 epl stage 2,


I previously had a passenger side IC fail, it led to a stuck intake runner flap, replaced the runner with one from a member, then got this code popped up, he sent another sensor it took me a few weeks to get the time to get in there but although the code was present the car was fine, recently it started to be really Down on power and I noticed the bypass was not closing. Cleared codes and the bypass closed. When this trips the bypass no longer functions.

No accident, when it is there for a few days it will sometimes throw a o2 sensor code.

Also I don’t there’s a way to test this with the sc still in place the wire to this sensor isn’t very long and it’s behind one of the secondary air injection tubes.

2016 S4, so 3.0T CTUB.

P2004 Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open, Bank 1, Signal voltage > 2.5 V
P2005 Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open, Bank 2, Signal voltage > 2.5 V
P2006 Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Closed, Bank 1, Signal voltage < 2.9 V
P2007 Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Closed, Bank 2, Signal voltage > 2.9 V

P2008 Intake Manifold Runner Control Circuit/Open, Signal voltage 2.9 to 3.2 V
P2009 Intake Manifold Runner Control Circuit Low, Signal voltage < 1.95 to 2.2 V
P2010 Intake Manifold Runner Control Circuit High, Signal current 1.2 A

P2014 Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Low, Bank 1, Signal voltage, < 0.2 V
P2017 Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit High, Bank 1, Signal voltage, > 4.8 V
P2019 Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Low, Bank 2, Signal voltage, < 0.2 V
P2022 Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit High, Bank 2, Signal voltage, > 4.8 V

So there's:

G336 intake manifold runner position sensor bank 1: 5v on white on 1, signal out on yellow/red on 2, ground on brown/green on 3.
G512 intake manifold runner position sensor bank 2: 5v on white on 1, signal out on violet on 2, ground on brown/green on 3.
N316 intake manifold runner control valve: fused 12v on yellow/red on 2, ECM controlled ground on blue/white on 1.

It seems the issue would be with the N316, not the G336, based on the text. Could be a failure in the unit or the wiring from the unit to the ECM (T60/36).
