P0083 Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit High Bank 2

P0083 indicates a high intake valve control solenoid circuit on bank 2. The solenoid path is open, shorted to voltage, or above expected range.

Code details

Generic OBD-II · P0

System: Fuel / Air
Code type: Generic (SAE / ISO controlled)
Standard: SAE J2012 / ISO 15031-6

Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not replace the control module or cam sensor until the high solenoid circuit is isolated.

Symptoms of P0083

Check-engine light on, sometimes with rough or uneven running.
Hesitation, surging, or a noticeable change in fuel economy.
Occasionally hard starting or a smell of unburnt fuel.

Common causes of P0083

A failing or contaminated sensor (MAF, MAP, oxygen or air-fuel sensor).
Intake or vacuum leaks, or an exhaust leak near an upstream sensor.
Wiring, connector, or fuel-delivery problems that skew the reading.

Useful checks before replacing parts

Check bank 2 intake solenoid signal voltage, feed, ground, open circuits, short-to-voltage faults, connector fit, and resistance.
Inspect oil-soaked connectors, harness rub points near the cylinder head, terminal tension, shared VVT feeds, and recent engine service.
Compare high circuit events with commanded intake timing, actual cam angle response, and related bank 2 VVT codes.
