Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor output voltage in order to assist in controlling the fuel delivery and the ignition timing. The PCM supplies a 5 volt reference signal voltage and a ground circuit to the MAP sensor. As the manifold pressure changes, the output voltage of the sensor also changes. By monitoring the sensor output voltage, the PCM knows the manifold pressure. A lower pressure (low voltage) output voltage will read between 1.0 to 1.5 volts at idle. While higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will read between 4.5 to 4.8 at wide open throttle (WOT). The PCM uses the MAP sensor to record the barometric pressure during an engine start up and at wide open throttle. This allows the PCM to make adjustments for different altitudes.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | No active TP DTCs |
| • | The engine speed is less than 1,000 RPM. |
| Or |
| The engine speed is more than 1,000 RPM and the throttle position (TP) sensor is more than 15 percent. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The MAP is less than 0.08 volts. |
| • | The above conditions are met for at least 6.25 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) if a failure is detected during 2 consecutive key cycles. |
| • | The control module sets the DTC and records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic failed. The failure information is stored in the scan tools Freeze Frame and Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the MIL after 3 consecutive drive trips when the test has Run and Passed |
| • | A history DTC will clear if no fault conditions have been detected for 40 warm-up cycles. A warm up cycle occurs when the coolant temperature has risen 22°C (40°F) from the startup coolant temperature and the engine coolant reaches a temperature that is more than 70°C (158°F) during the same ignition cycle. |
| • | Use a scan tool to clear the DTCs. |
Diagnostic Aids
Important: After repairs use the scan tool Fuel Trim Reset function in order to reset the Long Term F.T. to 0 percent.
| • | With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, the manifold pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure and the signal voltage will be high. The PCM uses this information as an indication of the altitude of the vehicle. The comparison of this reading with a known good vehicle with the same sensor is a good way to verify the accuracy of a suspect sensor. Readings should be the same ± 0.4 volt. |
| • | Whenever a DTC P0107 is intermittent, refer to Symptoms for further diagnosis. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
-
This step determines if the DTC P0107 is the result of a hard malfunction or an intermittent condition.
-
The scan tool may not display 5.0 volts. The important thing is that the PCM recognizes the voltage as more than 4.0 volts, indicating that the PCM and the MAP sensor signal circuit are OK. A test lamp that illuminates indicates a short to ground in the signal circuit.
-
The replacement PCM must be programmed and the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure must be performed.

Important: The powertrain control module (PCM) uses a single internal 5.0 volt power supply to supply power to all the engine control components. If one component shorts its 5.0 volt reference circuit to ground or battery voltage, the other 5.0 volt reference circuits will also have a low or high voltage.
