### Circuit Description

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure (vacuum). The MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from below 2 volts at idle (high vacuum) to above 4 volts with the key ON, engine not running or at wide-open throttle (low vacuum).

The MAP sensor is used to determine manifold pressure changes while the linear EGR flow test diagnostic is being run (refer to DTC P0401), to determine engine vacuum level for some other diagnostics and to determine barometric pressure (BARO). 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 low, DTC P1107 will be set.

### Conditions for Running the DTC

• | No active TP sensor DTCs are present.

• | The ignition is ON.

• | Throttle angle is steady above 0% when engine speed is less than 1000 rpm.

| OR

• | Throttle angle is steady above 10% when engine speed is above 1000 rpm.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

• | The MAP sensor indicates a signal voltage intermittently below 0.1 volt.

• | The condition is present for longer than 5 seconds.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | The PCM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

• | The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Failure Records data only. This information will not be stored as Freeze Frame data.

### Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• | A History DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction.

• | The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear Info function.

### 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 reference circuits from the ignition control module to the PCM.

| If the 3X reference 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 DTC's will set.

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

• | Damaged harness. 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 Freeze Frame/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.

#### DTC P1107 - MAP Sensor Circuit Intermittent Low Voltage

Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Did you perform the Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check performed? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Powertrain On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check
2 | Important: If DTC P1635 is set, refer to DTC P1635 5 Volt Reference Circuit first. With a scan tool, select Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Does the scan tool indicate DTC P0107 set? | -- | Go to DTC P0107 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit Low Voltage | Go to Step 3
3 | Inspect for a poor 5 volt reference A circuit or MAP signal circuit connection at the MAP sensor. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis . Did you find a problem? | -- | Go to Step 8 | Go to Step 4
4 | Test the MAP signal circuit for an intermittent open or short to ground. Did you find a problem? | -- | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 5
5 | Test for an intermittent short to ground on the 5 volt reference A circuit between the PCM and the following components:

• | The MAP sensor.

• | The EGR valve.
