DTC Descriptor

DTC P0106
- Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Performance

Diagnostic Fault Information






Typical Scan Tool Data






Circuit/System Description

The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to pressure changes in the intake manifold. The pressure changes occur based on the engine load. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the MAP sensor on the 5 V reference circuit. The ECM provides a ground on the low reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the MAP sensor signal circuit which is relative to the pressure changes in the manifold. The ECM detects a low signal voltage at a low MAP, such as during an idle or a deceleration. The ECM detects a high signal voltage at a high MAP, such as the ignition is ON, with the engine OFF, or at a wide open throttle (WOT). The MAP sensor is also used to determine the barometric pressure (BARO).

* The engine speed is between 575-6600 RPM.

* The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is between -7 to +125°C (19.4-257°F).

* The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is between -20 to +125°C (-4 to +257°F).

* This DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the MAP sensor pressure is not within range of the calculated pressure that is derived from the system of models for more than 0.5 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0106 is a Type B DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that DTC P0697 is not set.

If any of the DTCs are set, refer to DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, or P06A3 (ECM) Powertrain Management (ECM).

2. Verify none of the following conditions exist:

* Restricted exhaust, refer to Restricted Exhaust Restricted Exhaust.

* Engine mechanical condition for example, low compression or incorrect timing chain installation. Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical Symptoms - Engine Mechanical.

* Verify there are no vacuum leaks.

* Verify the positive crankcase ventilation system if operation properly.

3. Determine the current vehicle testing altitude. Compare the MAP Sensor parameter to the reading in the Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure table. The manifold absolute pressure sensor pressure parameter should be within the specified range indicated in the table.

4. Ignition ON, engine OFF, observe the scan tool BARO parameter, Boost Pressure Sensor parameter, and MAP Sensor parameter. Compare the parameters to the Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure Altitude Versus Barometric Pressure table. The parameters should be within the specified range indicated in the table.

5. Start the engine and observe the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter. The MAP sensor pressure parameter should change while starting the engine.

6. Use the scan tool and compare the MAP Sensor parameter to the Boost Pressure Sensor parameter during a WOT acceleration at the time of the 1-2 shift. The readings should be within 20 kPa (3.0 PSI).

7. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Verify the integrity of the entire air induction system including all turbocharger components by inspecting for the following conditions:

* Any damaged components

* Proper operation of wastegate actuator and bypass valve

* Loose or improper installation including the flexible ductwork of the turbocharger and the charge air cooler

* An air flow restriction

* Any vacuum leak

* Improperly routed vacuum hoses

* In cold climates, inspect for any snow or ice buildup at the BARO port on the ECM

* A restriction in the MAP sensor port or the BARO port

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B74 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor.

3. Ignition OFF, all vehicles systems OFF. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.

If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the B74 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

5. Verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is less than 1 kPa (0.14 PSI).

If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 3 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

6. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the B74 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor signal circuit terminal 3 and the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool MAP sensor parameter is greater than 126 kPa (18.27 PSI).

If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B74 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor.

Component Testing

Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Testing in order to verify the integrity of the MAP sensor circuits before proceeding with the Component Testing.

Skewed Sensor Test

1. Using the following steps and referencing the table below will determine if the MAP sensor is skewed.

2. Ignition ON, engine OFF, observe the MAP Sensor scan tool parameter.

3. Use the observed MAP Sensor Scan Tool parameter that is closest to a value that is indicated in the first column.
then

4. Using the EN 23738-A - vacuum pumpto apply 17 kPa (2.5 PSI) of vacuum to the MAP sensor, the parameter in the first column should decrease by 17 kPa (2.5 PSI). The reading should be within range that is indicated in the second column.

If not within the specified range, replace the manifold absolute pressure sensor.

5. Using the EN 23738-A - vacuum pumpto apply 34 kPa (5.0 PSI) of vacuum to the MAP sensor, the parameter in the first column should decrease by 34 kPa (5.0 PSI). The reading should be within range that is indicated in the second column.





Erratic Signal Test

1. Ignition OFF, remove the MAP sensor.

2. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and the corresponding terminal of the MAP sensor.

3. Install a jumper wire between the low reference circuit terminal 2 of the MAP sensor and ground.

4. Install a jumper wire at terminal 3 of the MAP sensor.

5. Connect a DMM between the jumper wire from terminal 3 of the MAP sensor and ground.

6. Ignition ON, with the EN 23738-A - vacuum pump, slowly apply vacuum to the sensor while observing the voltage on the DMM. The voltage should vary between 0-5.2 V, without any spikes or dropouts.

If the voltage reading is erratic, replace the B74 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor.
