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

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 (ON-VEHICLE) table.
If scan tool reading is not within specification, see DTCs P0106, P0107 and P0108 (Esteem and Swift) or DTC P1408 (Sidekick and X-90) in TESTS W/CODES article. To bench test pressure sensor, see appropriate table below:

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 battery lead is connected to "Vin" terminal. Negative lead is connected to "Ground" terminal. Check output voltage between "Vout" and "Ground" terminals. See Fig 1 .

⁽²⁾	Voltage should reduce when up to 15 in. Hg of vacuum is applied to MAP sensor.
