Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Testing and Inspection

The manifold differential pressure (MAP) sensor converts intake manifold pressure into a voltage signal. The engine control module (ECM) uses this signal to determine the condition of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS




The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is or the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) is displayed on the HI - SCAN under the following conditions:
1. When the manifold pressure is 4.5 V or more for 4 second.
2. When the manifold pressure is 0.2 V or lower for 4 second.

SENSOR INSPECTION [MAP SENSOR]
1. Connect the voltmeter between 1 and 4 of MAP sensor connector for
Terminal 4 : MAP sensor ground
Terminal 1 : MAP sensor output
2. Measure the voltage of terminals.




3. If the voltage deviates from the standard value, replace the MAP sensor assembly.
