Faulty intake manifold tuning valve or its actuator (internal short or stuck solenoid or motor); Control wire shorted to a voltage supply or damaged insulation; Corroded, loose or damaged connector or terminals at the valve or ECU; Open circuit or high resistance in the ground or control wiring giving a high voltage reading; Mechanical sticking or carbon build-up in the tuning valve or flap mechanism overloading the actuator; Faulty ECU output driver; Outdated or faulty ECU calibration, where the manufacturer has issued a known fix for the model.

0: Defined bySAE, the same on every car
6: AreaComputer and output circuits
62: FaultThe specific fault in that area

What it means

P0662 means the engine control unit has detected a high voltage or a fault on the control circuit for the intake manifold tuning valve on bank 1. This valve changes the intake path length or airflow to improve torque and breathing at different engine speeds. The ECU sets the code when the circuit voltage does not match what it is commanding, which points to a short to voltage, a wiring fault or a faulty valve or driver.

Symptoms

Engine warning light on
Loss of power or flat spot at certain engine speeds
Reduced mid-range torque or poorer top-end performance
Rough or uneven idle
Poorer fuel economy
Engine may run in a limited performance mode

Possible causes

Faulty intake manifold tuning valve or its actuator (internal short or stuck solenoid or motor)likely
Control wire shorted to a voltage supply or damaged insulationlikely
Corroded, loose or damaged connector or terminals at the valve or ECUlikely
Open circuit or high resistance in the ground or control wiring giving a high voltage readingpossible
Mechanical sticking or carbon build-up in the tuning valve or flap mechanism overloading the actuatorpossible
Faulty ECU output driverrare
Outdated or faulty ECU calibration, where the manufacturer has issued a known fix for the modelrare

How to diagnose

Read all stored codes and freeze frame data, noting engine speed, load and temperature when the fault set, and check for related codes
Check for manufacturer service information or bulletins for the specific model and engine, as valve type and location vary
Visually inspect the valve, its vacuum lines if fitted, the wiring and the connector for damage, chafing, heat damage, oil contamination and corrosion
Clear the code and use a scan tool's output test to command the valve, listening and watching for movement and checking whether the code returns
Check the supply voltage, ground and control signal at the valve connector with a multimeter against the manufacturer's wiring diagram
Test the wiring for shorts to voltage and for resistance or open circuits between the valve and ECU with the battery disconnected
Measure the valve's resistance against specification, and check the mechanism moves freely by hand where accessible
If wiring and the valve are good, check the ECU connector and output signal, and check for a calibration update

How to fix

Replace the intake manifold tuning valve or actuator if it fails electrical or movement tests
Repair or replace damaged wiring that is shorted to voltage or open circuit
Clean, repair or replace corroded or loose connector terminals
Clean or repair the sticking mechanism where the manufacturer allows, otherwise replace the affected part
Update the ECU calibration only if a known fault is confirmed by the manufacturer
Repair or replace the ECU only after all wiring and component faults have been ruled out

Can I keep driving?

Low severity

The car can usually be driven carefully for a short time, but performance and economy may suffer, so book it in soon. Avoid heavy loads or hard acceleration if the engine is running in a limited mode.
