Manifold Absolute Pressure (Map)/Manifold Differential Pressure (MDP) Sensor

  1. To test MAP sensor on vehicle, turn ignition on. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to MAP sensor. Observe scan tool display as specified vacuum is applied. See MAP SENSOR OUTPUT SIGNAL TABLE (ON-VEHICLE)  .
  2. If scan tool reading is not within specification, see DTC P1408 in TESTS W/CODES - 1.6L article. To bench test pressure sensor, see MAP SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE TABLE (OFF-VEHICLE)  . If voltage is not within specification, replace MAP sensor.
CAUTION: Damage to MAP sensor will occur if connections are made incorrectly.

(1) MAP sensor output voltage is tested with three 1.5-volt batteries connected in series (output 4.5-5.0 volts). Positive lead of batteries is connected to "Vin" terminal. Negative lead of batteries is connected to "Ground" terminal. Check output voltage between "Vout" and "Ground" terminals.
(2) Voltage should reduce when up to 15 in. Hg of vacuum is applied to MAP sensor.
