Charge Air Pressure Sensor/MAP Sensor -G31/G71- electrical harness connector terminals: Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical connector T60 terminals:
1 13
2 Empty cavity
3 27
4 39

Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.

If the specified value was Not obtained: 

-- Check the wiring for an open, high resistance or short to ground.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK: 

-- Replace the Charge Air Pressure Sensor/MAP Sensor -G31/G71-. Refer to the Repair Information.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was Not OK: 

-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair Information.

-- Install the engine cover. Refer to the Repair Information.

Final procedures 

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
