If the vehicle cannot be left in transportation
mode then the procedure to disconnect the
Manifold Absolute Pressure Temperature (MAPT)
sensor electrical connector, until the vehicle is
prepared for delivery to the customer, should be
followed to achieve the same result.
Experience shows that vehicles undergoing a
conversion where the engine is regularly started
for short periods of time when cold, are most at
risk; for example, vehicles undergoing a
Motorhome conversion.
Vehicles held in storage for long periods of time
are particularly susceptible to this concern, for
example vehicles awaiting or undergoing a
conversion.
To overcome this and protect fuel injectors from
early time-in-service failures, the Manifold
Absolute Pressure Temperature (MAPT) must be
disconnected by following the following simple
procedure.
Procedure for disconnecting the Manifold
Absolute Pressure Temperature (MAPT)
sensor
E350348
•
Disconnect the electrical connector.
•
Start and stop the engine 4 times to ensure
that the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is
illuminated and corresponding information
message is displayed in the instrument cluster.
– The vehicle can be operated safely with the
MAP sensor disconnected during any
conversion that the vehicle may be
undergoing, for example a Motorhome
conversion.
•
Before the vehicle is handed over to the
customer, the Manifold Absolute Pressure
Temperature (MAPT) must be reconnected
and the engine must be started 4 times to turn
off the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL),
remove the information message and restore
the engine’s normal power and torque outputs.
NOTE: When the Manifold Absolute Pressure
Temperature (MAPT) sensor is disconnected, the
vehicle must only be used at the storage facility
and NOT on public roads.
To reduce the likelihood of premature battery
failure it is recommended that where:
•
A battery is left connected – monthly checks
should be carried out.
•
A battery has been disconnected – no greater
than a 3 monthly check should be carried out.
