Circuit Description
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). A low voltage signal, 1.0-1.5 volts, is sent to VCM on signal circuit at closed throttle (high vacuum). A high voltage signal, 4.0-4.5 volts is sent at wide open throttle (low vacuum).
Conditions for setting DTC
- No TP sensor related DTCs.
- Engine running.
- TP sensor is at least zero percent when engine speed is not greater than 800 RPM.
- TP sensor is at least 12.5 percent when engine speed is greater than 800 RPM.
