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 5-volt reference 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
- Engine is running.
- TP is zero percent or greater when engine speed is not greater than 800 RPM.
- TP is 12.5 percent or greater when engine speed is greater than 800 RPM.
- No TP sensor DTCs are set.
