What it means
P0664 means the engine control unit has detected a low voltage or low signal state in the control circuit for the Bank 2 intake manifold tuning valve. The control unit monitors the circuit when it commands the valve on or off, and sets the code when the voltage does not match the commanded state. The valve alters the intake runner length or airflow path to improve torque and power across the rev range, and its layout depends on the engine.
Symptoms
- Malfunction indicator lamp on
- Loss of power or flat spot at certain engine speeds
- Reduced mid-range torque or top-end power
- Rough or uneven idle
- Poorer fuel economy
- Engine may default to a fixed manifold setting (limp-style strategy)
Possible causes
- Open circuit or short to earth in the tuning valve control wiring on Bank 2likely
- Corroded, loose or damaged connector at the tuning valve or control unitlikely
- Faulty intake manifold tuning valve solenoid or actuator (internal short)likely
- Blown fuse or missing power supply to the valve circuitpossible
- Vacuum-operated actuator or linkage fault causing circuit or feedback issues (design dependent)possible
- Fault within the engine control unit driver circuitrare
How to diagnose
- Read the stored and pending codes and note the freeze frame data, including engine speed, load and temperature when the fault set
- Check for other related codes, especially for Bank 1 tuning valve or supply voltage faults, and deal with those first
- Visually inspect the Bank 2 tuning valve, its connector and the wiring for chafing, heat damage, corrosion or water ingress
- Check the relevant fuse and the power supply and earth at the valve connector against the manufacturer wiring diagram
- Measure the valve coil resistance and compare with the specification for that engine
- Command the valve on and off with a suitable scan tool and listen or feel for operation, and watch the control voltage change
- Test the control wire for continuity and for short to earth between the connector and the control unit
- Check any vacuum supply, hoses and the actuator linkage for leaks or sticking, if the engine uses them
How to fix
- Repair or replace damaged wiring and ensure the connections are secure and sealed
- Clean or replace corroded or damaged connectors and terminals
- Replace the Bank 2 intake manifold tuning valve or actuator if it fails electrical or operation tests
- Replace the blown fuse after finding and correcting the cause of the overload
- Repair or replace leaking vacuum lines or a sticking linkage where fitted
- Following confirmed circuit tests, repair or replace the control unit only as a last resort, then clear the code and road test to confirm
Can I keep driving?
The car can usually be driven carefully while you book a repair, as the fault mainly affects performance and economy. Have it checked soon, particularly if power loss or a rough idle becomes noticeable.
