Circuit Description
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). A 5-volt reference is applied to sensor. A variable resistor moves in relation to manifold pressure and a voltage signal is returned to VCM through MAP signal circuit. Voltage signal varies from 1.0-1.5 volts at closed throttle to 4.0-4.5 volts at wide open throttle (low vacuum). VCM utilizes MAP signal and throttle position to determine fuel delivery.
Conditions for setting DTC
- No TP sensor DTCs are set.
- Throttle position is 0.4 percent or less when engine speed is 1200 RPM or less.
- Throttle position is 20 percent or less when engine speed is greater than 1200 RPM.
