The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to pressure changes in the intake manifold. The pressure changes occur based on the engine load. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the MAP sensor on the 5-volt reference circuit. The ECM provides a ground on the low reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the MAP sensor signal circuit which is relative to the pressure changes in the manifold. The ECM detects a low signal voltage at a low MAP, such as during an idle or a deceleration. The ECM detects 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 to determine the barometric pressure (BARO).

The ECM detects that the actual MAP signal is not within the predicted range for greater than 15 seconds.

DTC P0106 is a Type B DTC.

DTC P0106 is a Type B DTC.

A high resistance condition in the MAP sensor circuits will cause this DTC.

Special Tools

1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that DTC P0107, P0108, or P0697 is not set.

⇒	If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.

2. Verify none of the following conditions exist:

•	Restricted exhaust--Refer to Restricted Exhaust.

•	Engine mechanical condition--For example, low compression or incorrect timing belt installation. Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical.

3. Determine the current vehicle testing altitude. Compare the MAP sensor pressure parameter to the reading in the Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure table. The MAP sensor pressure parameter should be within the specified range indicated in the table.
4. Start the engine and observe the scan tool MAP sensor pressure parameter. The MAP sensor pressure parameter should change while starting the engine.
5. Engine running, observe the scan tool MAP Sensor pressure parameter. The reading should be between 26-52 kPa.
6. Snap the throttle while observing the scan tool MAP sensor pressure parameter. The MAP sensor pressure parameter should change rapidly when the throttle position changes.
7. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

1. Verify the integrity of the entire air induction system by inspecting for the following conditions:

•	Any damaged components

•	Loose or improper installation

•	An air flow restriction

•	Any vacuum leak

•	Improperly routed vacuum hoses

•	In cold climates, inspect for any snow or ice buildup

•	Verify that restrictions do not exist in the MAP sensor port or vacuum source.

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAP sensor.
3. Ignition OFF for 1 minute, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

5. Verify the scan tool MAP sensor parameter is 0.00 V.

⇒	If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

6. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool MAP sensor parameter is 127 kPa.

⇒	If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the MAP sensor.

The ignition ON, engine OFF MAP sensor scan tool value should decrease within +/- 4 kPa by the amount of vacuum applied with the J 23738-A or J 35555 . For example, at 92 kPa, the MAP sensor scan tool reading should be between 71-79 kPa with 5 in Hg (17 kPa) of vacuum applied to the sensor.
