P2022: Bank 2 runner feedback is electrically high before position can be trusted
Interpret Ford P2022 sensor-circuit monitoring and distinguish it from over-travel or a stuck-open intake runner.

Documented application
Ford 2024–2025 gasoline OBD operation summary, July 16 2024 revision; only the documented monitor variants. No individual model, engine or calibration fitment inferred.
The code alone does not identify a failed part or establish that a vehicle is safe to drive. Confirm the vehicle, reporting module and applicable service procedure.
Ford lists P2022 as bank 2 intake manifold runner position sensor circuit high. The documented high boundary is above 4.7 volts. This describes an electrical range condition, not automatically a valid report that the runner plates are fully open.
High voltage and excessive travel are different categories
The same source assigns P2020 to bank 2 position over-travel and P2005 to stuck-open behavior. Those functional results concern the mechanism's reported response relative to its command or permitted range. An electrically invalid signal needs to be resolved before relying on it for either conclusion.
The circuit check lasts five seconds, while functional stuck/over-travel evaluation uses four events. A successful electrical repair can therefore require an additional functional verification opportunity before the entire runner system has been assessed.
Match the documented architecture
The table is explicitly for a vacuum-actuated V-engine arrangement and begins monitoring after coolant exceeds 40°F. It does not establish that all P2022 applications share the same hardware or sensor scaling.
Preserve the bank 2 signal, operating conditions and companion control or functional codes. The engine-specific procedure is needed to locate the circuit and determine whether the high state comes from sensing, wiring or control electronics. The cited summary does not identify a replacement part. Verification should demonstrate a valid feedback range and appropriate command response, not merely a temporarily absent warning.
Source and applicability
This explanation covers the cited Ford monitor variants, not every vehicle displaying this code. Match the engine, sensor architecture and calibration before applying numerical limits.
