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 powertrain control module (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 MAP sensor signal circuit, which is relative to the pressure changes in the manifold. With low MAP, such as during idle or deceleration, the PCM should detect a low MAP sensor signal voltage. With high MAP, such as during ignition ON, engine OFF, or wide open throttle (WOT), 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 WOT. 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 sets.

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0108 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit High Voltage
• | DTCs P0121, P0122, 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 engine speed is less than 1,500 RPM. |
OR |
• | The throttle angle is less than 10 percent when the engine speed is more than 1,500 RPM. |
• | DTCs P0121, P0122, 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. |
OR |
• | The throttle angle is less than 30 percent when the engine speed is more than 900 RPM. |
• | The PCM detects that the MAP sensor signal voltage is more than 4.2 volts for 3 seconds. |
• | This diagnostic runs continuously once the above conditions have been met. |
• | 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. |
• | 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. |
This DTC may set due to poor idle characteristics. A possible cause may be uncontrolled fueling due to an open or high resistance in the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 low signal circuit. Before replacing any component, ensure that this condition does not exist.
