### Circuit Description

The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the pressure inside the intake manifold. Pressure in the intake manifold is affected by engine speed, throttle opening, air temperature, and barometric pressure (BARO). A diaphragm within the MAP sensor is displaced by the pressure changes that occur from the varying load and operating conditions of the engine. The sensor translates this action into electrical resistance. The MAP sensor wiring includes 3 circuits. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a regulated 5 volts to the sensor on a 5-volt reference circuit. The PCM supplies a ground on a low reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a signal voltage to the PCM, relative to the pressure changes, on the MAP sensor signal circuit. The PCM converts the signal voltage input to a pressure value.

Under normal operation the highest pressure that can exist in the intake manifold is equal to BARO. This occurs when the vehicle is operated at wide-open throttle (WOT) or when the ignition is on while the engine is off. Under these conditions, the PCM uses the MAP sensor to determine the current BARO. The lowest manifold pressures occur when the vehicle is idling or decelerating. MAP can range from 10 kPa, when pressures are low, to as much as 104 kPa when pressures are high, depending on the BARO. The PCM monitors the MAP sensor signal for pressure outside of the normal range. If the PCM detects that the MAP sensor pressure is excessively low, DTC P0107 sets.

### DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0107 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

### Conditions for Running the DTC

• | The PCM is in the run state.

• | DTCs P0068, P0120, P0121, P0220, P0641, P0651, P1516, P1680, P1681, P2101, P2120, P2125, P2135, P2138, P2176 are not set.

• | The throttle angle is more than 0 percent when engine speed is less than 1,100 RPM.

| OR

• | The throttle angle is more than 9 percent when engine speed is more than 1,100 RPM.

• | DTC P0107 runs continuously once the above conditions are met.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM detects that the MAP sensor pressure is less than 12 kPa for more than 2 seconds.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.

• | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

### Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

• | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

• | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.

• | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
