Diagnostic Fault Information






Typical Scan Tool Data






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 engine control module (ECM) supplies a regulated 5 volts to the sensor on a 5-volt reference circuit. The ECM supplies a ground on a low reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a signal voltage to the ECM, relative to the pressure changes, on the MAP sensor signal circuit. The ECM 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 ECM uses the MAP sensor to determine the current BARO. The lowest manifold pressures occur when the vehicle is idling or decelerating. The ECM monitors the MAP sensor signal for pressure outside of the sensor operating range.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Verify that DTC P0641, or P0651 is not set.

If the DTC is set
Refer to DTC P0641 or P0651 (ECM With Supercharger) DTC P0641 or P0651 (ECM Without Supercharger) for further diagnosis.

If the DTC is not set

2. Engine Idling.

3. Verify the scan tool MAP voltage parameter is between 0.3-4.8 V and changes with accelerator pedal input.

If not between 0.3-4.8 V or does not change
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - step 1.

If between 0.3-4.8 V and changes

4. 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 in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

5. Verify the DTC does not set.

If the DTC sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - step 1.

If the DTC does not set

6. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B74 manifold absolute pressure sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal A or 2 and ground.

If 2 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K20 engine control module.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K20 engine control module.

If less than 2 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal C or 1 and ground.

If less than 4.8 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K20 engine control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the 5 V reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K20 engine control module.

Note: If the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage the engine control module or the sensor may be damaged.

If greater than 5.2 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K20 engine control module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V, replace the K20 engine control module.
