Circuit Description

The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor has a 5-volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts on the 5-volt reference circuit, and provides a ground on the low reference circuit.

The MAP sensor provides a voltage signal to the control module on a signal circuit relative to the intake manifold pressure changes.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0107

    • DTCs P0120, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0220, P0221, P0222, P0223, P0641, or P0651 are not set.
    • The throttle angle is greater than 0 percent when the engine speed is less than 800 RPM.
        OR
    • The throttle angle is greater than 12 percent when the engine speed is more than 800 RPM.
    • This DTC runs continuously when the above enabling conditions are met.

P0108

    • DTCs P0120, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0220, P0221, P0222, P0223, P0641, or P0651 are not set.
    • The engine has been running for a length of time that is determined by the start-up engine coolant temperature (ECT). The length of time ranges from 4 minutes at less than -30°C (-22°F) to 2 seconds at more than 30°C (86°F).
    • The throttle angle is less than 1 percent when the engine speed is less than 1,200 RPM.
        OR
    • The throttle angle is less than 20 percent when the engine speed is greater than 1,200 RPM.
    • This DTC runs continuously when the above enabling conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0107

The ECM detects that the MAP sensor voltage is less than 0.1 volt for greater than 5 seconds.

P0108

The ECM detects that the MAP sensor voltage is greater than 4.8 volts for greater than 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0107 and P0108 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTCs P0107 and P0108 are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Verify that DTC P0641 or P0651 are not set.
  2. If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
  3. Ignition ON, observe the MAP Sensor parameter. The reading should be between 0.05-4.9 volts.
  4. Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0107 or P0108 should not set.
  5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAP sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
  3. If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C and ground.
  5. If less than 4.8 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
    If greater than 5.2 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is less than 12 kPa.
  7. If greater than 12 kPa, test the signal circuit terminal B for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  8. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C. Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is greater than 103 kPa.
  9. If less than 103 kPa, test the signal circuit terminal B for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  10. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the MAP sensor.

Component Testing

Important: You must perform the Circuit/System Testing before proceeding with the Component Testing.

  1. Ignition ON, remove the MAP sensor.
  2. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C and the corresponding terminal of the MAP sensor.
  3. Install a jumper wire between the low reference terminal A of the MAP sensor and ground.
  4. Install a jumper wire at the signal terminal B of the MAP sensor.
  5. Connect a DMM between the jumper wire from terminal B of the MAP sensor and ground.
  6. Install a J 23738-A or J 35555 to the MAP sensor vacuum port. Slowly apply vacuum to the sensor while monitoring the voltage on the DMM. The voltage should vary between 0-5.2 volts without any spikes or dropouts.
  7. If the voltage is not within the specified range or is erratic, replace the MAP sensor.
