Circuit Description
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). The MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from below 2.0 volts at idle (high vacuum) to above 4.0 volts with the key on, engine not running or at wide open throttle (low vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine manifold pressure changes while the EGR flow test diagnostic is being run (Refer to DTC P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Flow Insufficient ), to determine engine vacuum level for some other diagnostics and to determine barometric pressure (BARO). The PCM monitors the MAP signals for voltages outside the normal range of the MAP sensor. If the PCM detects a MAP signal voltage that is excessively low, DTC P0107 will be set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | No TP sensor DTCs present. |
| • | Engine running. |
| • | Ignition is more than 9 volts. |
| • | Throttle angle above 0%, if engine speed is below 1,000 RPM. |
| • | Throttle angle above 10%, if engine speed is above 1,000 RPM. |
| • | The MAP sensor signal voltage is less than 0.1 volt. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test has been run and failed. |
| • | The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Failure Records data. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The PCM will turn OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has been run and passed. |
| • | The History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction. |
| • | The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
| • | Monitor the MAP sensor using the scan tool. If the MAP sensor does not respond to throttle changes, check the 3X reference circuits from the ignition control module to the PCM. |
| If the 3X reference signal is lost the PCM will only update the MAP sensor reading once per key cycle, when the engine is first started. |
| Depending on where the MAP sensor voltage (high voltage or low voltage) is when the engine is started, the high or low voltage MAP sensor DTCs will set. |
| • | Poor connection at PCM. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal to wire connection. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis and Connector Repairs . |
| • | Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the MAP display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change in the display will indicate the location of the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs . |
If DTC P0107 cannot be duplicated, the information included in the Fail Records data can be useful in determining the conditions that caused this DTC to set. If it is determined that the DTC occurs intermittently, performing the DTC P1107 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit Intermittent Low Voltage Diagnostic Table may isolate the cause of the fault.
