Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to pressure changes in the intake manifold. The pressure changes occur based on the engine load. The MAP sensor has a 5-volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies 5 volts to the MAP sensor on the 5-volt reference circuit. The PCM also provides a ground on the low reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a signal to the PCM on the signal circuit which is relative to the pressure changes in the manifold. The PCM should detect a low signal voltage at a low MAP, such as during an idle or a deceleration. The PCM should detect a high signal voltage at a high MAP, such as the ignition is ON, with the engine OFF, or at a wide open throttle (WOT). Certain vehicle models will also use the MAP sensor in order to determine the barometric pressure (BARO). This occurs when the ignition switch is turned ON, with the engine OFF. The BARO reading may also be updated whenever the engine is operated at WOT. The PCM monitors the MAP sensor signal for voltage outside of the normal range. The PCM calculates a predicted value for the MAP sensor based on throttle position and engine speed. The PCM then compares the predicted value to the actual MAP sensor signal. DTC P0105 will set if the MAP sensor signal is not within the predicted range.

| • | The engine run time is more than 40 seconds. |
| • | The change in engine speed is stable to within 50 RPM. |
| • | The engine speed is between 600--637 RPM. |
| • | The torque converter clutch (TCC) is stable to within 2.5 percent. |
| • | All conditions stable for 1.5 seconds. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The actual MAP sensor signal is not within the predicted range for 14 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect for the following conditions: |
| - | Restrictions in the MAP sensor vacuum source |
| - | MAP sensor seal is missing or damaged |
| - | Vacuum hoses disconnected, damaged, or incorrectly routed |
| - | Intake manifold vacuum leaks |
| - | Vacuum leaks at the throttle body |
| • | This DTC may set due to any condition that may cause an unreasonably high or low MAP value including the following engine conditions: |
| - | Incorrect cam timing |
| - | Restricted exhaust |
| - | Worn piston rings |
| - | Low fuel pressure |
| • | If an intermittent condition exists, refer to Intermittent Conditions . |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step tests the MAP sensor's ability to correctly indicate barometric pressure. The value shown for the MAP sensor varies with altitude. 103 kPa is the approximate barometric pressure (BARO) displayed at or near sea level.
-
This step tests the MAP sensor's ability to respond to an increase in engine vacuum.
-
This step tests for a proper MAP sensor pressure with an applied vacuum.
