CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in manifold pressure
(vacuum). The ECM receives this information as a signal voltage that will vary from about
1-1.5 volts at closed throttle idle, to 4-4.8 volts at Wide Open Throttle (low vacuum).
If the MAP sensor fails, the ECM will substitute a fixed MAP value and use the engine rpm
to control fuel delivery.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS:
An intermittent problem may be caused by a poor or corroded connection, rubbed through
wire connection, a wire that is broken inside the insulation, or a corroded wire.
Any circuitry that is suspected as causing the intermittent complaint should be thoroughly
checked for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wiring connections, corroded terminals and/or wiring,
or physical damage to the wiring harness. After repairs, clear codes following “Clearing
Codes” procedure at the front of this section. Failure to do so may result in codes not
properly being cleared. If Code 14 is also set, check for open ground CKT 814.
