Manifold Differential Pressure (MDP) Sensor - VITARA & Grand VITARA

  1. Remove MDP sensor from intake manifold. Inspect intake manifold vacuum passage, MDP sensor air vent hole and vacuum passage for clogs. Clean passages if necessary. Inspect sensor O-ring for damage and deterioration.
  2. See Figure for MDP sensor testing procedure. See MDP SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE (OFF-VEHICLE) - VITARA & GRAND VITARA  table for voltage specifications. If voltage readings are not within specifications, replace MDP sensor and retest system.
MDP SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE (OFF-VEHICLE) - VITARA & GRAND VITARA

Vacuum (In. Hg) (1)(2) Output Voltage
7.8 2.40-4.40
9.8 2.13-4.13
11.8 1.86-3.86
13.8 1.59-3.59
15.7 1.32-3.32
(1) See Figure for proper test procedures.
(2) Voltage should reduce when up to 15 in. Hg of vacuum is applied to MDP sensor.
