CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is mounted to the top rear of the intake manifold. The MAP sensor measures the pressure changes within the intake manifold which is an indication of the engine load. The MAP sensor has a 5.0 volt reference, a ground, and a signal circuit.
The MAP sensor contains a diaphragm which changes the resistance based on pressure. When the manifold pressure is low the sensor output voltage is low. When the manifold pressure is high the sensor output voltage is high.
The MAP sensor voltage depending on altitude, can range from 1.0-1.5 volts at idle to 4.0-4.9 volts at Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
When the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) senses a signal voltage higher than the normal operating range of the sensor, this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets.
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ No Throttle Position (TP) sensor DTCs are set.
^ The engine is operating.
^ The TP sensor angle is less than 5 percent when the engine speed is 1,000 RPM or less.
OR
^ The TP sensor angle is less than 18 percent when engine speed is more than 1,000 RPM.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The MAP sensor voltage is more than 4.3 volts.
^ All conditions are met for more than 4 seconds.
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns OFF the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A last test failed, or current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
^ Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIL and the DTC.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
IMPORTANT: Remove any debris from the PCM connector surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect the PCM connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the PCM. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent water intrusion into the PCM.
^ The following may cause an intermittent:
- Mis-routed harness
- Rubbed through wire insulation
- Broken wire inside the insulation
^ The PCM 5.0 volt reference circuits are internally connected within the PCM. If all the MAP sensor circuits are OK, inspect the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) circuits for malfunctions.
^ For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. If DTCs P1635 and P1639 set at the same time, this indicates that the MAP sensor circuit is shorted to a voltage.
3. This step determines if the malfunction is present.
4. Using the Freeze Frame and Failure Records data may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information included in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records data can help determine how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also help determine how many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same Freeze Frame conditions such as RPM, load, vehicle speed, temperature, etc. that you observed. This will isolate when the DTC failed.
5. The MAP sensor is located under the intake manifold sight shield. This step checks whether the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage. Re-install the intake manifold sight shield after the repairs are completed.
6. This step checks whether a ground circuit is available at the MAP sensor.
9. Remove the MAP sensor and check if vacuum is available to the sensor. Also, inspect the MAP sensor seal for nicks and cuts.
