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 volts at idle (high vacuum) to above 4 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 linear EGR flow test diagnostic is being run (refer to DTC P0401), to determine engine vacuum level for some other diagnostics and to determine barometric pressure (BARO). The PCM monitors the MAP signal for voltages outside the normal range of the MAP sensor. If the PCM detects a MAP signal voltage that is intermittently low, DTC P1107 will be set.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • No TP sensor DTCs are present.
    • The ignition is ON.
    • Throttle angle is steady above 0% when engine speed is below than 1000 rpm.
        OR
    • Throttle angle is steady above 10% when engine speed is greater than 1000 rpm.
    • The MAP sensor indicates a signal voltage intermittently below 0.1 volt.
    • The condition is present for longer than 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
    • The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Fail Records data only. This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

    • A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
    • DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear Information function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

  1. Poor connection at PCM - Inspect harness connectors for the following items:
  2.  - Backed out terminals
     - Improper mating
     - Broken locks
     - Improperly formed or damaged terminals
     - Poor terminal to wire connections
  3. Damaged harness. Inspect the wiring harness for damage.
  4. 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.

Review the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed. This may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs.
