### 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 high, DTC P1106 will be set.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

• | No TP sensor DTCs present.

• | Engine has been running for a length of time that is determined by start-up coolant temperature. The length of time ranges from 2 minutes at less than -30°C (-22°F) to 0.5 second at more than 30°C (86°F).

• | Throttle position below 2%.

• | Engine speed is less than 900 rpm.

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

### 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 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.

Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Was the Powertrain OBD System Check performed? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Powertrain On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check
2 | Select DTC info, Last Tst Fail and note any other DTCs set. Is DTC P0108 also set? | -- | Go to DTC P0108 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit High Voltage | Go to Step 3
3 | Is DTC P1111, P1115, and/or P1121 also set? | -- | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 4
4 | Check for a poor sensor ground circuit terminal connection at the MAP sensor. Was a problem found? | -- | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 5
5 | Check the MAP signal circuit between the MAP sensor connector and the PCM for an intermittent short to voltage. Was a problem found? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 8
6 | Check for an intermittent short to voltage on the 5 Volt reference A circuit between the PCM and the following components:

• | The MAP sensor.

• | The EGR valve.

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

Does scan tool indicate DTC P1106 failed?
