Circuit Description

The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in the manifold vacuum. The electronic control module (ECM) receives this information as a signal voltage that will vary from about 1-1.5 volts at closed throttle, idle, to 4.5-5 volts at wide open throttle.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • DTCs 021 and 022 are not set.
    • The engine speed is less than 1,050 RPM.
        OR
        The engine speed is greater than 1,050 RPM and the throttle angle is greater than 18.8 percent.
    • The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor signal voltage indicates less than 14 kPa (2 psi).
    • These conditions have been present for 1 second.

Diagnostic Aids
    • If the connections are OK, monitor the MAP sensor signal voltage while moving related connectors and the wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the display on the scan tool will change. This may help to isolate the location of an intermittent malfunction.
    • With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, the MAP sensor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure. This information is used by the ECM as an indication of altitude. Comparison of these readings with a known good vehicle with the same MAP sensor is a good way to measure the accuracy of a questionable MAP sensor. The readings should be the same within 0.4 volt.
