The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure. The PCM supplies a 5 volt reference and a ground for the MAP sensor. The MAP sensor circuit provides a signal to the PCM relative to pressure changes in the manifold. With the key ON, engine not running, the MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies between 1.5 to 2.5 volts. With the engine running, the MAP sensor voltage to the PCM varies from below 2 volts at idle (low manifold absolute pressure - high vacuum) to above 4 volts at wide-open throttle (high manifold absolute pressure - low vacuum). The PCM monitors the MAP signals for voltages outside the normal range of the MAP sensor. If the PCM detects a MAP signal voltage that is intermittently high, DTC P01106 will be set.

### Conditions for Running the DTC

• | No TP sensor DTCs are present.

• | The ignition ON and the engine is running.

• | Throttle angle is steady less than 5% if engine speed is less than 1000 RPM.

• | Throttle angle is steady less than 10% if engine speed is greater than 1000 RPM.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

• | The MAP sensor intermittently indicates a voltage greater than 4.2 volts.

• | Above conditions are present more than 10 seconds.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

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.

### Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• | 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.

### Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

• | Monitor the MAP sensor using the scan tool. If the MAP sensor does not respond to throttle changes, check the 3X circuits from the ignition control module to the PCM.

| If the 3X signal is lost the PCM will only update the MAP sensor reading once per key cycle, when the engine is first started.

| Depending on where the MAP sensor voltage (high voltage or low voltage) is when the engine is started, the high or low voltage MAP sensor DTCs will set.

• | Inspect PCM harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal to wire connection.

• | Inspect the wiring harness for damage.

| If the harness appears to be OK, observe the MAP display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change in the display will indicate the location of the fault.

Reviewing the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.

1. Review and record scan tool Fail Records data.
2. Clear the DTCs.
3. Operate vehicle within Fail Records conditions as noted.
4. Monitor Specific DTC info for DTC P1106, using a scan tool.

Does the scan tool indicate DTC P1106 failed?
