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 the following circuits:
| • | 5-volt reference circuit |
| • | Low reference circuit |
| • | MAP sensor 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 MAP sensor 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). The MAP sensor is also used 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.
If the PCM detects a MAP sensor signal voltage that is intermittently low, diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P1107 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTCs P0121, P0122, or P0123 are not set. |
| • | The throttle angle is more than 9 percent when engine speed is more than 1,000 RPM. |
| OR |
| • | The throttle angle is more than 0 percent when engine speed is less than 1,000 RPM. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The MAP sensor voltage is less than 0.5 volt for less than 1 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records. |
| • | The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | 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 non-emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the DTC with a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Inspect the MAP sensor vacuum source for leaks, for restrictions, or for poor connections. |
| • | If the intermittent condition exists, refer to Intermittent Conditions . |
