What is a IMT valve position sensor?

What is a IMT valve position sensor?

The IMT valve position sensor receives voltage readings from the mass airflow (MAF) sensor and barometric pressure sensor. The MAF sensor and barometric pressure sensor will then send voltage signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). These voltage signals carry information regarding the position of the IMT valve.
