The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in the intake manifold pressure or vacuum. The PCM supplies a 5-volt reference and ground for the MAP sensor. The MAP sensor provides a signal to the PCM that is relative to the pressure changes in the manifold. The MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from less than 2 volts at idle, where a low manifold absolute pressure indicates a high vacuum, to more than 4 volts with the key ON, and the engine not running or at wide-open throttle, where a high manifold absolute pressure indicates a low vacuum. The PCM monitors the MAP signal for voltages outside the normal range of the MAP sensor. If the PCM detects a MAP signal voltage that is intermittently high, DTC P1106 will set.
The MAP sensor responds to changes in the intake manifold pressure. The PCM supplies a 5-volt reference and a ground for the MAP sensor. The MAP sensor provides a signal to the PCM that is relative to the pressure changes in the manifold. With the key ON, and the engine not running, the MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from 1.5 volts to 2.5 volts. With the engine running, the MAP sensor voltage to the PCM varies from less than 2 volts at idle, indicating a low manifold absolute pressure and a high vacuum, to more than 4 volts at wide-open throttle, indicating a high manifold absolute pressure and a low vacuum. The PCM monitors the MAP signals for voltage that is outside the normal range of the MAP sensor. If the PCM detects a MAP signal voltage that is intermittently high, DTC P1106 will set.
• | No TP sensor DTCs are present. |
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | The throttle angle is steady below 2 percent if the engine speed is less than 900 RPM. |
The MAP sensor intermittently indicates a voltage that is more than 4.2 volts.
The PCM stores conditions which were present when the DTC set as Failure Records only. This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame Records.
• | The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
• | The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction free warm-up cycles. |
• | The PCM receives a clear code command from the scan tool. |
Inspect for the following conditions:
Many situations may lead to an intermittent condition. Perform each inspection or test as directed.
Important: : Remove any debris from the connector surfaces before servicing a component. Inspect the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing a component. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent contaminate intrusion.
• | Loose terminal connection |
- | Use a corresponding mating terminal to test for proper tension. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections , and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair. |
- | Inspect the harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and faulty terminal to wire connection. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections , and to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair. |
• | Damaged harness--Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness inspection does not reveal a problem, observe the display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change in the scan tool display may indicate the location of the fault. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair. |
• | Inspect the powertrain control module (PCM) and the engine grounds for clean and secure connections. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems for diagnosis and repair. |
If the condition is determined to be intermittent, reviewing the Snapshot or Freeze Frame/Failure Records may be useful in determining when the DTC or condition was identified.
