Circuit Description
VIN K
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in the intake manifold pressure, which gives an indication of the engine load. The MAP sensor has a 5-volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The PCM supplies 5 volts to the MAP sensor on the 5-volt reference circuit, and 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. With low manifold absolute pressure such as during idle or deceleration, the PCM should detect a low MAP sensor signal voltage. With high manifold absolute pressure such as ignition ON, engine OFF or wide-open throttle, the PCM should detect a high MAP sensor signal voltage. This MAP sensor will indicate pressure between 10-104 kPa. The MAP sensor is also used in order to calculate the barometric pressure (BARO) when the ignition switch is turned ON, with the engine OFF. The BARO reading may also be updated whenever the engine is operated at wide-open throttle. The PCM monitors the MAP sensor signal for voltage outside of the normal range. If the PCM detects a MAP sensor signal voltage that is excessively high, DTC P0108 will set.

The MAP sensor provides a signal to the PCM on the signal circuit, which is relative to the pressure changes in the manifold. With low manifold absolute pressure such as during idle or deceleration, the PCM should detect a low MAP sensor signal voltage. With high manifold absolute pressure such during as wide-open throttle, the PCM should detect a high MAP sensor signal voltage. This MAP sensor will indicate pressure between 8-208 kPa. The MAP sensor is also used in order to calculate the barometric pressure (BARO) when the ignition switch is turned ON, with the engine OFF. The PCM monitors the MAP sensor signal for voltage outside of the normal range. If the PCM detects a MAP sensor signal voltage that is excessively high, DTC P0108 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
VIN K:
• DTCs P0121, P0122, or P0123 are not set. • The engine has been running for a length of time that is determined
by startup coolant temperature. The length of time ranges from 2 minutes
at less than 30°C (22°F) to 1 second at more than 30°C
(86°F). • The throttle angle is less than 2 percent when the engine
speed is less than 1,500 RPM. • The throttle angle is less than 10 percent when the engine
speed is more than 1,500 RPM.
VIN 1:
• DTCs P0121, P0122, and P0123 are not set. • The engine has been running for a length of time that is determined
by the start-up coolant temperature. The length of time ranges from 2 minutes
at less than 30°C (22°F) to 1 second at more than 30°C
(86°F). • The throttle angle is less than 2 percent when the engine
speed is less than 900 RPM. • The throttle angle is less than 30 percent when the engine
speed is more than 900 RPM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The MAP sensor signal voltage is more than 4.2 volts for 7 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 the MAP sensor vacuum source for leaks, for restrictions, or for poor connections. |
| • | If an intermittent condition exists, refer to Intermittent Conditions . |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
The MAP sensor 5-volt reference circuit is shared with other sensors. If DTC P1635 is set, this indicates that the 5-volt reference circuit is either shorted to ground or shorted to voltage and should be diagnosed first. The short may be on another sensor 5-volt reference circuit.
-
Operate the vehicle within the same conditions as when the DTC failed. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information included in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data can aid in locating an intermittent condition.
