Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor, Checking

NOTE:

Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing terminals in harness connector of Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor -G71-.

Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required 

Test Conditions 

Function Test 

-- Connect the scan tool.

-- Start engine and let it run at idle.

-- Using the scan tool, Check the specified value of the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor -G71- at idle:

Diagnostic text Specified value
Intake manifold pressure approx. 100 kPa

If the specified value was obtained:

-- Condition is not present at this time. Check connections for loose or damaged terminals and check harness for an intermittent short.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

Test sequence

-- Disconnect the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor -G71- electrical harness connector -arrow-.

Specification: 4.5 V 

-- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

-- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

-- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. Refer to the Repair Information.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor -G71- electrical harness connector terminal 4 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- electrical harness connector T60 terminal 56 for resistance.

Specified Value: 1.5 Ohm Max. 

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for an open circuit, high resistance, short circuit to each other, Battery (+), or Ground (GND).

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

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

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

-- Replace Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor -G71-.

If the specified value of 4.5 V was Not obtained:

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

-- Install the Adapter Cable (60-pin) VAG 1598/31 Refer to the Repair Information.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

-- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. Refer to the Repair Information.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor -G71- electrical harness connector terminals to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- electrical harness connector T60 terminals for resistance.

Specified Value: 1.5 Ω Max. 

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for an open circuit, high resistance, short circuit to each other, Battery (+), or Ground (GND).

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

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

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

-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. 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 .
