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 are set.
- TP angle is not greater than 0.4 percent when engine speed is less than 1200 RPM.
- TP angle is not greater than 20 percent when engine speed is greater than 1200 RPM.
- MAP is 4.9 volts or greater.
